Summary of the Introduced Bill

HB 222 -- Kansas City School Board Elections

Sponsor:  Yates

This bill changes the election procedures for school board
members of the Kansas City School District by requiring,
beginning with the 2010 school election, that six members who
reside in the subdistrict from which they seek election be
elected by a vote of the entire district rather than the
subdistrict.  Three additional at-large members may reside
anywhere in the district and will also be elected district-wide.
A vacancy for which no candidate files will be filled by the
school board appointment of a resident of the subdistrict
affected.  Each member will be elected to a four-year term, and
no board member may serve more than two terms.
