AN ACT concerning school districts; relating to school board members;
  amending K.S.A. 25-2022a and repealing the existing section.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
  Section 1.  K.S.A. 25-2022a is hereby amended to read as follows: 25-
2022a. Whenever a school district has a voting plan or method of election
which provides for member districts, persons elected or appointed to be
a member of the board of education of such school district shall reside
in the member district corresponding to the member position to which
such person is elected or appointed unless such person is a member at-
large of the board of education. The member at-large may reside any-
where within the school district. Changes of member district territory and
boundaries such that a member of a board of education no longer resides
in the member district from which elected or appointed shall not shorten
the term of such member. In the event If a member of a board of edu-
cation elected or appointed from a member district changes residence
from one place to another within a school district, such that he or she so
that such member no longer resides in the member district from which
elected or appointed, such member shall nevertheless continue the term
to its conclusion without such term being shortened. In the event a mem-
ber of a board of education establishes residence outside the school dis-
trict in which such member resided at the time of election, a vacancy in
the membership of the board shall exist as of the date upon which the
determination is made by the county election officer of the home county
of such school district that a change of residence has occurred, and such
member shall no longer be eligible to serve on the board of education of
such school district.
  Sec. 2.  K.S.A. 25-2022a is hereby repealed.
  Sec. 3.  This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
publication in the statute book.
