Commissioner Slater to push resolution opposing House Bill 1383 on March work session agenda
Summary
Commissioner Slater said House Bill 1383 would require county boards of education elections to align with local legislative election cycles and said he will place a resolution opposing the measure on the March 10 work session agenda.
Commissioner Slater informed the commission that House Bill 1383 has been filed at the state level and said he plans to introduce a county resolution opposing the bill at the March 10 work session.
“House Bill 1383 has been filed to amend state law to require elections for county boards 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,” Slater said. He added, “I believe the county should maintain the right to decide what is best for their community. On March 10, I will place ... a resolution opposing this bill.”
The chair clarified that seeking discussion on the work-session agenda does not require an immediate vote; Slater confirmed he would place the resolution on the March 10 work session agenda for further consideration.
The record does not show a subsequent debate or vote on the resolution at this meeting; it is scheduled for a future work session.
