To amend an Act providing for the number of members and for the election of members of the Board of Education of Lowndes County, approved April 13, 1992 (Ga. L. 1992, p. 5827), as amended, particularly by an Act approved June 3, 2003 (Ga. L. 2003, p. 4340), so as to change the description of the educational districts; to provide for definitions and inclusions; to provide for the continuance in office of current members; to provide for submission of this Act for preclearance under 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 the number of members and for the election of members of the Board of Education of Lowndes County, approved April 13, 1992 (Ga. L. 1992, p. 5827), as amended, particularly by an Act approved June 3, 2003 (Ga. L. 2003, p. 4340), is amended by revising Section 1 as follows:

"SECTION 1.
(a) The Board of Education of Lowndes County, referred to in this Act as the 'board,' shall be composed of seven members to be elected as provided for in this Act. For the purpose of electing members of the board, the Lowndes County School District shall be divided into seven education districts which shall correspond to those seven numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: lowndessbR-2012 Plan Type: local Administrator: lowndes sb User: SE'.
(b)(1) For the purposes of such plan:
(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 Lowndes County which is not included in any district described in subsection (a) 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.
(3) Any part of Lowndes County which is described in subsection (a) of this section 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 district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia.
(c) No territory within the territorial boundaries of any independent school district shall be included within the boundaries of any of said educational districts."

SECTION 2.
Said Act is further amended by revising subsection (d) of Section 3 as follows:
"(d) Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 as they existed on the day immediately preceding the effective date of this subsection shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and, on and after the effective date of this subsection, 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 Section 1."

SECTION 3.
The Board of Education of Lowndes 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 4.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
