SECTION
1.
An
Act creating a Board of Education of Jones County, approved March 21, 1984 (Ga.
L. 1984, p. 4459), as amended, particularly by an Act approved May 30, 2003 (Ga.
L. 2003, p. 3836), is amended by striking Section 2 and inserting in its place
the following:
"SECTION
2.
(a)
The chairperson may reside anywhere within Jones County and shall be elected by
the voters of the entire county. Each other member must be a resident of the
district the member represents and shall be elected by only the voters of that
district. All elections shall be by majority vote.
(b)
For purposes of electing a Board of Education of Jones County, the Jones County
School District shall be divided into four education districts as provided in
this subsection. One member of the board shall be elected from each such
district by the voters of such district. The four education 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: jonesccsb-2011 Plan
Type: Local User: bak'.
(c)(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 Jones 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 Jones 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.
(d)(1)
Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the chairperson and each other
member of the board shall serve for a term of four years beginning the first day
of January next following his or her election. Those members serving in office
on the effective date of this Act shall serve until the expiration of the term
for which they were elected. Successors shall be elected thereafter at the
general election immediately preceding the expiration of a term of
office.
(2)
At the general election held in November, 2012, the members of the board
representing Education Districts 2 and 4 shall be elected to serve terms of four
years. The chairperson and the members of the board representing Education
Districts 1 and 3 shall continue to serve for the remainder of their terms and
until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Thereafter, their
successors shall be elected to serve terms of four years as provided in this
section."
SECTION
2.
Said
Act is further amended by repealing the attachment thereto containing the former
descriptions of education districts which is identified as Plan Name:
jones-03-01 Plan Type: Local User: staff Administrator: Jones
Co.
SECTION
3.
It
is the purpose of this Act to reapportion the districts from which members of
the Board of Education of Jones County are to be elected in the November, 2012,
general election and in subsequent general elections, and this Act results from
changes in population based on the United States decennial census of 2010. It
is not the intention of the General Assembly to affect the membership of current
members of the board, their terms of office, or the manner in which their
successors shall be elected, and such matters shall remain as provided by law on
the effective date of this Act until otherwise amended by law, except to the
extent of reapportioning the districts represented by such members.
SECTION
4.
It
shall be the duty of the attorney of the Board of Education of Jones County to
submit or cause to be submitted this Act for preclearance 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
5.
This
section and Section 4 of this Act and those provisions of this Act relating to
and necessary for the regular election in 2012 of members of the Board of
Education of Jones County shall become effective upon its approval by the
Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval. The remaining
provisions of this Act shall become effective January 1, 2013.
SECTION
6.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
