Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §22.1-57.3:1.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§22.1-57.3:1.1. Loudoun County school board; staggered terms.
Notwithstanding §22.1-57.3:1 and the second enactment of
Chapter 744 of the Acts of Assembly of 1994, the school board of Loudoun County
shall be elected as provided in §22.1-57.3, except that upon a majority vote
of its members the terms of school board members may be staggered as provided

preceding the end of the board's term, the at-large member and the
members from four districts, and upon the board's prior vote for
staggered terms, the members from four of the nine districts, inclusive of the
at-large district, to be determined by lot by the electoral board of the
county prior to its meeting immediately preceding the deadline for candidate
filing, shall be elected for four-year terms, and the remaining
districts' successful candidates shall be elected for two-year terms.
Thereafter, all members shall be elected for four-year terms, and the school board elections shall be conducted biennially for staggered terms.
