Sec. 32-1.5.
Election of board of education.
Any special charter district
may, by vote of its electors, determine to elect, instead of the managing
board provided for by its special charter, a board of education which shall
be elected at the time and in the manner as boards of education under Article
10 of this Act; but such determination shall not affect any other powers
or duties conferred or imposed by the special charter.
Upon petition of 10% or 200 of the voters, whichever is less, of any such
district requesting a referendum therefor, presented to the managing board
thereof, the board shall, or upon its own initiative if no such petition
has been presented the board may order submitted to the voters at the next
regular election, in accordance with the general election law, a proposition
to elect a board of education of 3 or 5 or 7 members, as the case may be.
The proposition shall be substantially as follows:
Shall school district.... be governed by a board of education of.... members YES to be elected at the time and in the manner as boards of education under Article 10 NO of the School Code?
If more than one proposition is properly presented to the board, the one
first presented shall be submitted to the electors.
If such proposition receives a majority of all valid votes cast thereon,
the change in membership shall
be effectuated at the next succeeding regular school election. In the conduct
of such election, the managing board shall take such measures as may be
necessary to arrange for the election of a board of 3, 5, or 7 members,
as the case may be. The new board shall be organized as provided in Article
10 of this Act, except that, if only 5 members are
to be elected, 2 (instead of 3) shall be selected by lot for a
2 year term, and if only 3 members are to be elected, then one
shall be selected by lot for a 2 year term. In case of a 5 member board already
established, if 4 are elected in 1983, then those elected shall by lot
determine 2 to serve 2 years and 2 to serve 4 years. All successors, except
to fill vacancies, shall be elected for terms of 4 years.
In the case of a 5 member board already established, on which the members
serve 5 year terms, the member elected in 1981 shall serve a 6 year term.
The 2 members elected in 1983 shall serve 6 year terms. The 2 members elected
in 1985 shall also serve 6 year terms. All successors, except to fill vacancies,
shall be elected for terms of 6 years.
As soon as the first new board is organized, the terms of all members of
the predecessor board shall terminate.
In any such school district which determines to elect a new board of education
as hereinabove authorized, the number of members on the board may thereafter
be changed by following the procedure hereinabove set forth.
At least 22 months must elapse after the date of an election
under this section before any of the above propositions may be again submitted
to the electors.
