To amend an Act reconstituting the Board of Education of Glascock County, approved April 1, 1996 (Ga. L. 1996, p. 3725), as amended, so as to revise the districts for the election of members of the board of education; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for method of election; 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 reconstituting the Board of Education of Glascock County, approved April 1, 1996 (Ga. L. 1996, p. 3725), as amended, is amended by striking subsection (b) of Section 2 and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

"(b) For the purpose of electing members of the board of education, the Glascock County School District shall be divided into five education districts. The districts shall be and correspond to those four numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: glassb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Glascock SB User: SE'. Education District 5 shall include all of the territory in the Glascock County School District.

(c) For purposes of such plan:

(1) 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.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in the description of any 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.

(d) Any part of Glascock County which is not included in any such district described in subsection (b) of this section 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.

(e) Any part of Glascock County which is described in subsection (b) of this section 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.

(f) The members of the board of education who were elected at the general election in November, 2010, shall continue in office for the terms to which they were elected and until successors are elected and qualified as provided in this Act. The members of the board of education who were elected at the general election in November, 2008, shall continue in office for the terms to which they were elected and until successors are elected and qualified as provided in this Act.

(g) Successors to the members of the Board of Education of Glascock County from Education Districts 1, 2, and 5 shall be elected at the state-wide 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.

(h) Successors to the members of the Board of Education of Glascock County from Education Districts 3 and 4 shall be elected at the state-wide 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.

(i) Successors to members elected under subsections (g) and (h) of this section shall be elected at the state-wide 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.

(j) Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as they existed on January 1, 2012, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, 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 section."

SECTION 2.

The Board of Education of Glascock County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for approval pursuant to 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 3.

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