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

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

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.
