SECTION 1.
An Act providing a new Board of Education for Polk County, approved March 28, 1985 (Ga. L. 1985, p. 4985), as amended, particularly by an Act approved April 25, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 4852), is amended by revising Section 1 as follows:

"SECTION 1.
(a) The Board of Education of Polk County shall be composed of seven members who shall be elected as provided in this Act. For the purpose of electing members of the board, Polk County shall be divided into seven education districts which shall be and correspond to those seven numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: polksb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Polk SB User: SE'.
(b)(1) When used in such attachment, the term 'VTD' (voting tabulation district) 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.
(2) 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. Any part of the Polk County School District which is not included in any such district described in that attachment 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.
(3) Any part of the Polk County School District which is described in that attachment as being 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 district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia.
(4) Except as otherwise provided in the description of any education district, whenever the description of such district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census map for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia."

SECTION 2.
Said Act is further amended by revising Section 4 as follows:

"SECTION 4.
(a) The nine members of the Board of Education of Polk County serving on the effective date of this Act shall continue to serve the remainder of their terms. Thereafter, the board of education shall consist of seven members elected from seven numbered education districts as described in Section 1 of this Act.
(b) There shall be an election at the general election held in 2012 for the board members representing Education Districts 3 and 6. The persons so elected shall serve terms of four years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
(c) Effective January 1, 2013, the member representing current District 1 shall serve new District 2; the member representing current District 2 shall represent new District 4; the member representing current District 3 shall represent new District 1; the member serving current District 7 shall represent new District 7; and the member serving current District 8 shall serve new District 6.
(d) At the 2014 general election, members serving Education Districts 1, 2, 4, and 7 shall be elected to serve initial terms of four years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, and the member representing Education District 5 shall be elected for an initial term of two years and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. Thereafter, the terms of all members shall be for four years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified."
SECTION 3.
The Board of Education of Polk County which existed on December 31, 2012, is continued in existence but on and after January 1, 2013, shall be constituted as provided in this Act. The Board of Education of Polk County so continued and constituted, sometimes referred to in this Act as the "board," shall continue to have the powers, duties, rights, obligations, and liabilities of that board as existed immediately prior to January 1, 2013.

SECTION 4.
It shall be the duty of the Board of Education of Polk County to require the attorney therefor to submit this Act for preclearance pursuant to Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended.

SECTION 5.
The provisions of this Act relating to and necessary for the regular election in 2012 of members of the Board of Education of Polk County shall become effective upon this Act's approval by the Governor or upon its becoming effective without such approval, and the remainder of this Act shall otherwise become effective January 1, 2013.

SECTION 6.
