Policy 1100 Board Member Elections and Redistricting

• Download Policy 1100 Board Member Elections and Redistricting

Durée

The term of office for an elected member shall be four years, except as required because of redistricting as set forth below, and begins on the first Monday in January following the election.

Candidature

An individual may become a candidate for election to the Board by filing a declaration of candidacy with the county clerk and paying the fee as required in Utah Code. The deadline for filing is determined by the Utah State Legislature. Please contact the Utah County Elections Office for the current filing deadlines and the most updated state code related to candidacy.

Élections

No more than four (4) members may be elected to the board in any election, unless otherwise required as a consequence of redistricting, as set forth below, or to fill a vacancy by election or to fill a vacancy by election under Policy 1103.

Redistricting Does Not Cut Short Board Member Terms

Redistricting does not affect the right of any school board member to complete the term for which the member was elected, except as may be required for redistricting following creation of a new school district.

Representation of School Board Districts After Redistricting

1. If after redistricting only one board member whose term extends beyond redistricting lives within a reapportioned school board district, that board member shall represent that school board district.

2. If after redistricting, two or more members whose terms extend beyond redistricting live within a reapportioned school board district, the members involved shall select one member by lot to represent that school board district.

   • Les autres membres sont désignés pour la durée restante de leur mandat.

   • The Provo City School Board is composed of seven members. However, the at-large board members will serve in addition to these seven members for the remainder of their terms, regardless of the number of board members specified by law.

3. If after redistricting there is no board member living within a school board district whose term extends beyond redistricting, the seat for that school board district shall be treated as vacant and filled as provided in Policy 1103.

Adaptation de la durée des mandats en raison d'une nouvelle répartition des sièges

If, before an election affected by redistricting, the county or municipal legislative body that conducted the redistricting determines that one or more members must be elected to terms of two years to meet this part’s requirements for staggered terms, the legislative body shall determine by lot which of the reapportioned local school board districts will elect members to two-year terms and which will elect members to four-year terms. All subsequent elections are for four-year terms.
