A BILL
TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
Relating to Etowah County; to provide for an authorizing referendum in the City of Gadsden regarding the election of the Gadsden City Board of Education; upon approval of the referendum providing for the election and operation of the board of education for the City of Gadsden, providing that, after the initial election, certain members of the board shall be elected at the same time, from the same districts, and in the same manner as members of the Gadsden City Council; providing for the election of the chair from the city at-large; providing for the selection of a vice chair; providing for the operation of the board; providing for the terms of office, qualifications, and compensation of the members; prescribing procedures for electing the members and for filling vacancies on the board; and providing certain transitional provisions.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA:
Section 1. (a) Pursuant to Amendment 659 to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 104.01 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, the Gadsden City Council shall call an authorizing referendum election regarding changing the Gadsden City Board of Education to an elected city board of education.
(b) If a majority of the qualified electors of the municipality voting in the authorizing referendum election vote in favor of an elected city board of education, the board shall be established as provided in this act and the Legislature, as provided in Amendment 659, from time to time, by local law may provide further for the election and operation of the Gadsden City Board of Education. The local laws may provide for the termination of the terms of office of members of the existing city board of education; the composition of the city board of education; initial and succeeding terms of office, including staggered terms; election districts and at-large membership; qualifications; powers, duties, and responsibilities; vacancies; compensation; and any other matter that the Legislature determines necessary for the operation of the board.
(c) The question on the ballot shall read as follows: “Do you favor changing the Gadsden City Board of Education from an appointed to an elected board? “Yes (___) No (____).”
(d) If a majority of the qualified electors of the municipality voting in the authorizing referendum vote against an elected city board of education, the current board shall continue to operate as provided by law and the remaining portions of this act shall have no further effect.
(e) The official charged with conducting municipal elections shall conduct this election. The city shall pay any costs and expenses not otherwise reimbursed by a governmental agency which are incidental to the election. The official shall report the results of the election to the State Board of Education as provided in Amendment 659.
Section 2. If the majority of electors voting pursuant to Section 1 vote in favor of changing to an elected board, an elected board of education for the City of Gadsden shall be established. The board shall be called the Gadsden City Board of Education. The board shall be composed of eight members. With the exception of the initial election, each member shall qualify and be elected in the same manner and at the same time as members of the Gadsden City Council are elected. Seven members shall be elected from the same districts as members of the Gadsden City Council are elected by the qualified electors of the applicable district voting at the election. One member, who shall serve as chair, shall be elected by the qualified electors of the city at-large voting at the election.
Section 3. A member, except the chair, shall reside in the City of Gadsden and in the district the member represents during the entire term of office. The chair shall reside in the City of Gadsden during the entire term of office. If the boundaries of a city council district change, the corresponding board of education district shall automatically change accordingly for the next election of the city board of education. If redistricting places an incumbent board member outside of his or her district, the member shall nevertheless continue to serve the remainder of the term to which he or she was elected or appointed.
Section 4. A candidate for each place on the board of education shall be at least 21 years of age, a resident of the respective district for at least one year immediately preceding the deadline date for qualifying as a candidate, and shall not have a record of conviction for any crime involving moral turpitude.
Section 5. (a) The election to elect the initial members of the board of education shall be held at a special election called by the Gadsden City Council as soon as practicable. The next election to elect the members of the board of education shall be held at the same time as the election to elect the members of the Gadsden City Council in 2022, and every four years thereafter.
(b) The initial election and the initial runoff election, if necessary, and all subsequent elections held pursuant to this act shall be conducted, the vote canvassed, and the results declared in the same manner as provided for the election of members of the city council, unless otherwise required in this act. The city council may set a qualifying fee.
(c) The initial elected members of the board of education shall assume office immediately upon the certification of the election results and shall serve initial terms of office corresponding in duration with the remaining portion of the terms of office of the members of the city council elected in 2018. The members elected to the board of education in 2022 shall assume office immediately upon the certification of the election results and shall serve terms of office that correspond in duration with the terms of office of the members of the city council elected in 2022. Thereafter, all members of the board shall be elected to serve terms of four years.
Section 6. (a) Upon the assumption of office of the initially elected members of the board of education, the Gadsden City Board of Education as provided in this act shall be constituted and the terms, powers, duties, responsibilities, and emoluments of office of the prior members of the board of education shall end.
(b)(1) Upon assumption of office of the initial elected members of the board of education, these members shall have the powers, authority, duties, and responsibilities as are otherwise provided by law for members of city boards of education as set forth in Chapter 11, commencing with Section 16-11-1, of Title 16 of the Code of Alabama 1975, and as otherwise provided by law.
(2) At the first meeting after the board takes office, and every year thereafter, the board shall by majority vote of those voting, select a vice chair from among its members. The vice chair shall preside over meetings of the board in the absence of the chair.
(3) All property, records, supplies, and equipment of the prior board of education shall be vested in the board created by this act.
(c) The establishment of the board of education as provided in this act shall not affect or impair any of the following:
(1) Existing rights or privileges of employees of the board including, but not limited to, employment, personnel, salary, and retirement rights and privileges.
(2) Existing contractual obligations of the board of education.
(3) Existing civil and criminal actions.
Section 7. A vacancy on the board of education shall be filled by appointment by a majority of the remaining members of the board of education for the unexpired term. If the vacancy is not filled by the remaining members of the board of education within 60 days, the city council, or a designee of the city council, shall notify the State Superintendent of Education who shall fill the vacancy by appointment. A person filling a vacancy on the board shall be a resident of the City of Gadsden and the district the person is appointed to represent.
Section 8. The compensation for each member of the board of education, including the chair, shall be six hundred dollars ($600) per month payable from city school system funds. The board may adjust such compensation for succeeding terms of office.
Section 9. An annual audit of the financial records of the city school system and of the board of education shall be conducted by a reputable certified public accountant or auditing firm as selected by the board. The audit results shall be made a matter of public record. All monies of the school system shall be accounted for whether reserved for capital outlay or held for any other purpose.
Section 10. Any member of the board of education who fails to attend more than two regularly scheduled monthly board meetings without an authorized excused absence as recognized by the board through written policy shall receive a written request from the city superintendent of education to attend the meetings. If the board member persists in his or her unexcused absence for two additional regularly scheduled monthly board meetings, then the position shall be declared vacant by the chair of the board, subject to review and approval by the city council.
Section 11. The chair of the board shall have all of the following duties:
