Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    The first paragraph of Section 1(A) of Act 587 of 1992 is amended to read:

    "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning with the 1992 election, the Board of Trustees of Cherokee County School District 1 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; however, beginning with the general election in 2002, one member of the board must reside in each of the nine defined single member districts and these resident members must be elected from the school district at-large. 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 1992, five shall serve for initial terms of four years each and four shall serve for initial terms of two years each, the initial term of each member to be determined by lot at the first meeting of the board following the 1992 election. 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 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."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
