SECTION 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Act 526 of 1996, in the event of a vacancy on the board of trustees of each Orangeburg County Consolidated School District or on the Orangeburg County Board of Education for any reason other than expiration of a term, the vacancy must be filled for the unexpired term through appointment by the Orangeburg County Legislative Delegation.
SECTION 3. The first paragraph of Section 2(A) of Act 526 of 1996 is amended to read:
"(A) Except for Consolidated School District Five, each consolidated school district shall be governed by a board of trustees of seven members who must be elected in nonpartisan elections to be held beginning in 1997 in the manner hereinafter provided. Each member of the board must be a resident of and elected from single-member election districts provided in this act. The members of each board shall elect a chairman and such other officers as they deem necessary to serve for terms of one year in these capacities. The 1997 nonpartisan election shall be held on the third Tuesday in January, 1997. After the 1997 election, members of each board shall thereafter be elected at nonpartisan elections to be conducted on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November every two or four years thereafter as applicable beginning in 1999. Members of each board shall be elected for four-year terms and until their successors are elected and qualify, except that of the seven members of each board elected in 1997, the members elected from election districts one, three, five, and seven shall serve for initial terms to expire in November, 2001, when their successors elected at the 2001 election qualify and take office, and the members elected from election districts two, four, and six shall serve for initial terms to expire in November, 1999, when their successors elected at the 1999 election qualify and take office. In the event of a vacancy on the board occurring for any reason other than expiration of a term, the board shall call a special election to fill the unexpired term, so long as the vacancy does not occur within one hundred eighty days of a regular trustee election. In this case, the vacancy must be filled for the unexpired term through appointment by the county legislative delegation. All members of each board shall serve until their successors are elected and qualify."
SECTION 4. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
