succeed each incumbent director whose term is expiring in that year,
and two additional directors. Upon organizing as required by section
279.1, either one or two of the newly elected directors who received
the fewest votes in the election shall be assigned a term of two

directors are elected from director districts, the board shall assign
terms appropriate for the method of election used by the district.
