Comm. Coll. Trustee Terms/Region 4.

Senate Bill 764 revises the terms of office for specific trustees on the boards of seven North Carolina community colleges, including Durham Technical, Piedmont, Richmond, Rowan-Cabarrus, South Piedmont, and Vance-Granville. The law changes how these trustees are selected and for how long they serve by adjusting the duration of terms for seats appointed or elected by county commissioners and the state legislature. For example, some trustees will serve one-year terms instead of the standard four years, while others will serve two or three years to stagger their expiration dates. The bill also establishes that successors to these shorter-term positions will serve the standard four-year term once the current temporary terms end.
