(a) That area known as the Marshall County school system and served by the Marshall County Board of Education shall be divided by the board into four districts. The initial boundaries of the districts shall be based upon a map drawn by the board and filed in the office of the Judge of Probate of Marshall County by the members of the board. The separate districts shall be known as and shall include the following schools:
(1) District 1, Ashbury.
(2) District 2, Douglas.
(3) District 3, Brindlee Mountain.
(4) District 4, DAR.
(b) As the terms of current board members expire, members shall be elected to the board to represent those districts without representation on the board. If more than one of those districts is without representation on the board, the board shall designate from which district or districts successor board members shall be elected. In designating the sequence of election of members from the districts, the board shall endeavor to have representation from each of the four districts as soon as is practicable. After each district is represented on the board, any successor district member elected to the board shall be a resident of the district of the member whose term is expiring.
(c) A candidate for election as a district member of the board shall be a resident of the district which he or she seeks to represent on the board for at least 90 consecutive days immediately preceding the deadline date for qualifying as a candidate, and shall reside in that district during his or her entire term of office.
(d) Marshall County school system at-large member.
(1) One member may reside anywhere within the Marshall County school system and shall be elected to the board at-large from the Marshall County school system.
(2) A candidate for election to the at-large position shall be a resident of the Marshall County school system for at least 90 consecutive days immediately preceding the deadline date for qualifying as a candidate, and shall reside within the Marshall County school system during his or her entire term of office.
(e) The elections to elect the district members and the at-large member of the board as provided by this subpart shall be held at a time that corresponds to the election cycle used for the members of the board serving on August 1, 2012.
