CHAPTER 253
SENATE BILL 486

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE ALEXANDER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION TO REDISTRICT.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 115C-37 is amended by adding new subsections 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. In establishing district boundaries, the local board of education shall use data derived from the most recent federal census.
(j)	Any new districting plan adopted under subsection (i) of this section may include a change in the number of members of the board of education, may terminate the terms of all the members of the board at the next time any terms expire, so that all the members may be elected at once under the new districting plan, and may provide for the length and staggering of the terms of the members to be elected at the next election.
(k)	Any action taken under subsections (i) or (j) of this section is effective only if approved by vote of all the members of the board of education in office at the time of the vote."
Sec. 2.  This act applies only to the Alexander County Board of Education.
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 11th day of June, 1991.
