Creates and modifies provisions relating to elections submitted to the people by a school board of any school district located in St. Charles County
SB 1002 would move all school board elections from separate local elections to occur during the November general election cycle. This change would directly affect all school districts and voters who currently participate in off-cycle school board elections. The bill's key provision shifts election timing to align with statewide general elections, requiring local school boards to coordinate with other statewide races. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Education Committee after being referred there for review.
