Act approved May 6, 2005 (Ga. L. 2005, p. 3973), is amended
by revising Section 1 as follows:
"SECTION
1.
(a)
The Board of Education of Columbia County shall be composed of five members to
be elected as provided in this Act. For the purposes of electing members of the
board of education, Columbia County is divided into four education districts.
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: columbiaccsb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Columbia
User: Gina'. The chairperson of the board shall be elected by the electors of
the entire county.
(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 the Columbia County School District 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 the Columbia County School District 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."
SECTION
2.
(a)
Those members of the Board of Education of Columbia County who are serving as
such on 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, 2, 3, and 4, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this Act, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, 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.
(b) Education Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, as they exist immediately prior to the effective date of this Act, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, 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
3.
The
Board of Education of Columbia 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, not 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.
