                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

ELECTION AND TERM OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS (§ 24.2-223)

In any county, city or town wherein members of the school board are elected,
pursuant to Article 7 (§ 22.1-57.1 et seq.) of Chapter 5 of Title 22.1,
elections shall be held to coincide with the election of members of the
governing body at the regular general election in November or the regular
general election in May, as the case may be. Elected school board members shall
serve terms that are the same as those of the governing body, to commence on
January 1 following their election or July 1 following their election, as the
case may be.
		Notwithstanding any other provision of law, general or special, in a locality
that imposes district-based or ward-based residency requirements for members of
the school board, the member elected from each district or ward shall be elected
by the qualified voters of that district or ward and not by the locality at
large.
