SECTION 1.
An Act creating a new board of education of Grady County, approved March 5, 1968 (Ga. L. 1968, p. 2120), as amended, particularly by an Act approved September 26, 2001 (Ga. L. Ex. Sess. 2001, p. 660), as amended, is amended by revising Sections 2 and 2B as follows:

"SECTION 2.
(a) Those members of the Board of Education of Grady County who are serving as such on the effective date of this section, and any person selected to fill a vacancy in any such office shall continue to serve as such members until the regular expiration of their respective terms of office and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. On and after the effective date of this section, the Board of Education of Grady County shall consist of five members all of whom shall be elected from education districts described in subsection (b) of this section.
(b)(1) For purposes of electing members of the board of education, the Grady County School District is divided into five education districts. One member of the board shall be elected from each such district. The five education districts shall be and correspond to those five numbered districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further identified as 'Plan: gradyccsb-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: grady User: bak'.
(2) For the purposes of such plan:
(A) The term 'VTD' shall mean and describe the same geographical boundaries as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. The separate numeric designations in a district description which are underneath a VTD heading shall mean and describe individual Blocks within a VTD as provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia;
(B) Except as otherwise provided in the description of any district, whenever the description of any district refers to a named city, it shall mean the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census maps for the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia;
(C) Any part of the Grady County School District which is not included in any district described in paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia; and
(D) Any part of the Grady County School District which is described in paragraph (1) of this subsection as being included in a particular district shall nevertheless not be included within such district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous part shall instead be included within that district contiguous to such part which contains the least population according to the United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia."

"SECTION 2B. (a) Those members of the board elected thereto from Education Districts 1, 3, and 4 in the 2012 general election shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election and shall serve for initial terms of office which expire December 31, 2016, and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. Those members of the board elected thereto from Education Districts 2 and 5 in the 2014 general election shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election and shall serve for initial terms of office which expire December 31, 2018, and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors. Those and all future successors to members of the board whose terms of office are to expire shall be elected at the time of the state-wide general election immediately preceding the expiration of such terms, shall take office the first day of January immediately following that election, and shall serve for terms of office of four years each. Members of the board shall serve for the terms of office specified therefor in this subsection and until their respective successors are elected and qualified.
(b) Education Districts 1 through 5, as they exist on the effective date of this section, shall continue to be designated as Education Districts 1 through 5, respectively, but as newly described under this Act, and on and after the effective date of this section, such members of the board serving from those former education districts shall be deemed to be serving from and representing their respective districts as newly described under Section 2 of this Act.
(c) All members of the board who are elected thereto shall be nominated and elected in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the O.C.G.A., the 'Georgia Election Code.'"

SECTION 2.
Those members of the Board of Education of Grady County who are serving as such on the effective date of this Act and any person selected to fill a vacancy in any such office shall continue to serve as such members until the regular expiration of their respective terms of office and upon the election and qualification of their respective successors.

SECTION 3.
The Board of Education of Grady County shall through its legal counsel cause this Act to be submitted for preclearance under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, not later than 45 days after the date on which this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such approval.

SECTION 4.
This Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.

SECTION 5.
All laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
