Encouraging community representation in education.

Where it is in the process

This bill requires all school districts with 2,000 or more students to divide into director districts for school board elections by January 1, 2027. Districts with 2,000 to 5,000 students will have at least three districts and no more than two at-large positions, while larger districts will have at least four districts and one at-large position.
