REFERENDUM IN CERTAIN CONSOLIDATED CITIES (§ 22.1-57.1:1)

Notwithstanding the provisions of this article or any other statutory provision,
where an existing city and a county consolidate into a consolidated city and
where the county at the time of consolidation is providing all school services
to the existing city by contract pursuant to § 22.1-27 and the voters of the
county have approved direct election of the school board, the consolidation plan
or agreement shall provide for the election of school board members directly by
the voters of the consolidated city without the necessity of a further
referendum under § 22.1-57.2; in such case, the consolidation plan or agreement
shall provide that the members of the initial school board shall be elected from
the municipal election districts designated in the consolidation plan or
agreement. The provisions of § 22.1-57.3 shall apply in all other respects.
