DETROIT SCHOOL BOARD: ELECTIONS H.B. 4661 (H-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS






House Bill 4661 (Substitute H-1 as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Representative LaMar Lemmons, Jr.
House Committee: Education
Senate Committee: Education

CONTENT
The bill would amend the Revised School Code to require a first class school district to elect its officers during the month of January following the election of board members, instead of during the month of January of each odd-numbered year.


In addition, the following would apply to the board members elected by the board in 2006 as president and vice president of the board:

-- The initial term for each of those board members would be continued until the board elected a successor for each in January 2008.
-- Successors for each of those officers would be elected biennially by the board as provided under the Code. (A first class school district is a school district with at least 100,000 pupils enrolled on the most recent pupil membership count day. Currently, the only first class school district in the State is the Detroit Public Schools.)
