HJR 9 -- State Board of Education

Co-Sponsors:  Linton, Lograsso

This proposed constitutional amendment changes the State Board
of Education from an appointed to an elected basis.  Instead of
the current 8 members, a member would be elected from each of
the state's 9 congressional districts.  Terms are reduced from 8
to 4 years, and the prohibition on more than 4 members being of
the same political party is removed.  Transition provisions are
included, as well as the method for filling vacancies.
