275.38 IMPLEMENTING CHANGED METHOD OF ELECTION.
If change in the method of election of school directors is
approved at an election, the directors who were serving unexpired
terms or were elected concurrently with approval of the change of
method shall serve out the terms for which they were elected. If the
plan adopted is that described in section 275.12, subsection 2,
paragraph "b", "c", "d", or "e", the board shall at
the earliest practicable time designate the districts from which
residents are to be elected as school directors at each of the next
two succeeding regular school elections, arranging so far as possible
for elections of directors as residents of the respective districts
to coincide with the expiration of terms of incumbent members
residing in those districts. If an increase in the size of the board
from five to seven members is approved concurrently with the change
in method of election of directors, the board shall make the
necessary adjustment in the manner prescribed in section 275.37, as
well as providing for implementation of the districting plan under
this section. Section History: Early Form
