Local Education Agencies - As enacted, authorizes a local legislative body for a county that has adopted a charter form of government to require elections for the county board of education to be held at the same time and on the same election cycle as elections for members of the local legislative body for the county, members of the county board of education to have successive terms of office if members of the local legislative body for the county have successive terms of office and members of the county board of education to have the same term limits as members of the local legislative body for the county. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 5; Title 7; Title 8 and Title 49.
SB 1336 aligns county school board elections with county legislative elections in Tennessee counties that have adopted charter government. It requires school board elections to occur simultaneously with county legislative elections, mandates that school board terms match the staggered structure of county legislative terms, and applies identical term limits to both bodies. This bill directly affects county school boards and county legislative bodies in charter counties, eliminating separate election cycles for school boards. The law changes existing election timing, term structure, and term limit rules to create consistency between these two elected bodies.
