An

1989 (Ga. L. 1989, p. 4321), as amended, particularly by an Act approved
April 11, 2002 (Ga. L. 2002, p. 3898), is amended by
striking subsections (a) and (b) of Section 2 of said Act and inserting in their
place the following:
"(a)
The Board of Education of Thomas County shall consist of seven members. For
purposes of electing members of the board of education, the Thomas County School
District is divided into seven education districts. The seven education
districts 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:
thomassb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: thomas sb
User: bak'.
(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 Thomas 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 Thomas 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."
SECTION
2.
(a)
Those members of the Board of Education of Thomas County who are serving as such
on January 1, 2012, 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, 4, 5, 6, and 7, as they exist immediately prior to
January 1, 2013, 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 January 1, 2013, 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 Thomas 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.
This
section and Section 3 of this Act and those provisions of this Act necessary for
the election of members of the Board of Education of Thomas County in 2012 shall
become effective upon the approval of this Act by the Governor or upon its
becoming law without such approval. The remaining provisions of this Act shall
become effective January 1, 2013.
SECTION
5.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are
repealed.
