Reps. CARNELL, McABEE and KLAUBER, with unanimous consent, proposed the following Amendment No. 1 (Doc Name L:\council\legis\amend\GJK\20706SD.94), which was adopted.

Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:

/SECTION 1. (A) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning with the 1994 election, the Board of Trustees of Greenwood School District 50 consists of nine members who must be elected in nonpartisan elections to be held at the same time as the general election in even-numbered years in the manner hereinafter provided. One member of the board must be a resident of and elected from each of the nine defined single-member election districts established in Section 2 of this act. Members of the board shall be elected for four-year terms and until their successors are elected and qualify, except that of the nine members elected in 1994, the members from the odd-numbered districts or the members from the even-numbered districts shall serve initial terms of four years each with the group not serving four-year terms to serve two-year terms, the initial terms of such members to be determined by lot at the first meeting of the board following the 1994 election. In the event of a vacancy on the board occurring for any reason other than expiration of a term, the Greenwood County Board of Education shall call a special election to fill the unexpired term, so long as the vacancy does not occur within ten months of a regular trustee election. In this case, the vacancy must be filled for the unexpired term or for a full term as appropriate at the next regular election.

Each member of the board must be elected by the qualified electors of the respective district from which the candidate seeks election. All persons desiring to qualify as a candidate shall file written notice of candidacy with the county board of education on forms furnished by the county board. This notice of candidacy must be a sworn statement and must include the candidate's name, age, residence address, voting precinct, period of residence in the election district from which election is sought, and other information as the county board requires. The filing period opens on the first Tuesday in September at noon to run for two weeks.

The county board of education shall conduct and supervise the elections for members of the board in the manner governed by the election laws of this State, mutatis mutandis. The county board shall prepare the necessary ballots, appoint managers for the voting precincts, and do all things necessary to carry out the elections, including the counting of ballots and declaring the results. The county board shall publish notices of the time,

polling places, and purpose of the election in a newspaper of general circulation within the district once a week for at least two successive weeks before the election. The results of the elections must be determined by the nonpartisan plurality method as contained in Section 5-15-61 of the 1976 Code. The costs of the elections shall be borne by the school district.

The members of the board elected in these nonpartisan elections shall take office one week following certification of their election as provided in Section 59-19-315 of the 1976 Code.

(B) Regardless of the expiration date of the terms of the current members of the board, including those members whose terms are scheduled to expire on June 30, 1994, the current members of the board shall continue to serve until the members elected in the 1994 election qualify and take office, at which time the terms of the current members of the board shall expire. Nothing herein prevents a present member of the board from offering as a candidate in 1994 for election from the particular election district in which he resides.

SECTION 2. The nine defined single-member election districts from which members of the board of trustees of Greenwood School District 50 must be elected are as follows:
