To amend an Act providing for a seven-member Board of Education of McDuffie County, approved March 27, 1972 (Ga. L. 1972, p. 2538), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 2, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3708), so as to change the description of the education districts; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for the continuation in office of current members; to provide for submission of this Act for preclearance pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
An Act providing for a seven-member Board of Education of McDuffie County, approved March 27, 1972 (Ga. L. 1972, p. 2538), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 2, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3708), is amended by revising Section 1 as follows:

"SECTION 1.
(a) The Board of Education of McDuffie County shall be composed of seven members to be elected in this Act. For the purpose of electing members of the Board of Education of McDuffie County, McDuffie County is divided into seven districts. Districts 1 and 2 shall be and correspond to those two numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: mcduffcc-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: McDuffie CC User: SE'. Districts 3 through 7 shall be and correspond to those five numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: mcduffsb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: McDuffie SB User: SE'.
(b)(1) For the purposes of such plans:
(A) The term 'VTD' shall mean and describe the same geographical boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. The separate numeric designations in a district description which are underneath a VTD heading shall mean and describe individual Blocks within a VTD as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia; and
(B) Except as otherwise provided in the description of any district, whenever the description of any district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census maps for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia.
(2) Any part of the McDuffie County School District which is not included in Education District 1 or 2 as described in that attachment describing Education Districts 1 and 2 shall be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Any part of the McDuffie County School District which is described in that attachment describing Education Districts 1 and 2 as being included in a particular district shall nevertheless not be included within such district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that Education District 1 or 2 contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia.
(3) Any part of the McDuffie County School District which is not included in Education District 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 as described in that attachment describing Education Districts 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 shall be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. Any part of the McDuffie County School District which is described in that attachment describing Education Districts 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 as being in Education District 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 shall nevertheless not be included within such district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that Education District 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 that is contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia."

SECTION 2.
Said Act is further amended by revising subsections (a) and (b) of Section 3 as follows:
"(a)(1) The members of the Board of Education of McDuffie County from Education Districts 2, 4, 5, and 6 shall be elected at the November general election in 2012. Such members shall take office on January 1 following their election for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified.
(2) The members of the Board of Education of McDuffie County from Education Districts 1, 3, and 7 shall be elected at the November general election in 2014. Such members shall take office on January 1 following their election for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified.
(b) Successors to members elected under paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of this section shall be elected at the November general election next preceding the expiration of such terms of office and shall take office on January 1 following their election for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified."

SECTION 3.
(a) Those members of the Board of Education of McDuffie County who are serving as such immediately prior to the effective date of this Act and any person selected to fill a vacancy in any such office shall continue to serve as such members until the regular expiration of their respective terms of office and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors.
(b) Education Districts 1 through 7, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this Act, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1 through 7, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after the effective date of this Act, such members of the board serving from those former education districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under this Act.

SECTION 4.
The Board of Education of McDuffie County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, no later than 45 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval.

SECTION 5.
If, as of the first date upon which candidates may begin qualifying for the general primary in 2012, implementation of this Act is not permissible under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, then as of such date this Act shall be void and stand repealed in its entirety.

SECTION 6.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
