2. Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.18A:13-9 or any other section of law to the contrary, in the case in which the membership of the board of education of the regional district is apportioned pursuant to section 1 or section 3 of P.L.2017, c.45 (C.18A:13-34a or C.18A:13-46.1), the apportionment shall continue in effect until the receipt by the Governor of the next federal census. Immediately after the receipt by the Governor of a federal census, the Commissioner of Education shall consult with the constituent districts of the regional district to determine whether or not to reapportion the membership of the board of education of the regional district. All members of the board of education of the regional district shall continue in office for the terms for which they were elected or appointed notwithstanding any reapportionment ordered by the commissioner. If any constituent district receives increased representation on the board as a result of a reapportionment ordered by the commissioner, the additional members shall be elected at the next annual school election of the regional district. If, as a result of such reapportionment, a disproportionate number of the total representatives of any one constituent district to a regional board are to be elected at a single annual school election, the commissioner shall have the power, on petition of a constituent district board of education, to alter the term of any member representing such constituent district by not more than one year, so as to temporarily apportion, as equally as possible over any given three-year period, the election of the members representing such constituent district.
