A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO GIVE LOCAL BOARDS OF EDUCATION ELECTED ON A DISTRICT BASIS SIMILAR POWER AS CITIES TO REDISTRICT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115C-37 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( i)	The local board of education shall revise electoral district boundaries from time to time as provided by this subsection. If district boundaries are set by local act or court order and the act or order does not provide a method for revising them, the local board of education shall revise them for the purpose of (i) accounting for territory annexed to or excluded from the school administrative unit, and (ii) correcting population imbalances among the districts shown by a new federal census or caused by exclusions or annexations. When district boundaries have been established in conformity with federal law, the local board of education shall not revise them again until a new federal census of population is taken or territory is annexed to or excluded from the school administrative unit, whichever event first occurs. In establishing district boundaries, the local board of education shall use data derived from the most recent federal census."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
