At the present time, the West End School District is organized into five director districts. One member of the Board of Education resides within each of these districts, although each board member is elected in accordance with state law by a vote of all the electors in the school district (at-large). The Board of Education proposes a plan by which the director district plan of representation will be eliminated and replaced by at-large representation.
If the majority of the votes cast at the election are for the proposed at-large plan of representation, the plan shall become effective upon the canvass of the election returns. Future or subsequent vacancies shall be on an at-large basis.
If the majority of the votes cast at the general election are against the proposed at-large plan of representation, the school directors shall continue to be elected or appointed as provided under the existing director district plan of representation.
This proposal shall have no effect on the length of the term of office of the school directors.
