| 7 |
| Sec. 10-10. Board of education; Term; Vacancy. All school | 8 |
| districts
having a population of not fewer than 1,000 and
and | 9 |
| not more than 500,000
inhabitants, as ascertained by any | 10 |
| special or general census, and not
governed by special Acts, | 11 |
| shall be governed by a board of education
consisting of 7 | 12 |
| members, serving without compensation except as herein
| 13 |
| provided. Each member shall be elected for a term of 4 years | 14 |
| for the initial members
of the board of education of a combined | 15 |
| school district to which that
subsection applies. If 5 members | 16 |
| are elected in 1983 pursuant to the extension
of terms provided | 17 |
| by
law for transition to the consolidated election schedule | 18 |
| under the general
election law, 2 of those members shall be | 19 |
| elected to serve terms of 2 years
and 3 shall be elected to | 20 |
| serve terms of 4 years; their successors shall
serve for a 4 | 21 |
| year term. When the voters of a district have voted to elect
| 22 |
| members of the board of education for 6 year terms, as provided | 23 |
| in Section
9-5, the terms of office of members of the board of |

terms 2 | 5 |
| members are elected, they shall serve for a 6 year term; and of | 6 |
| the
members elected at the next regular school election 3 shall | 7 |
| serve for a
term of 6 years and 2 shall serve a term of 2 years. | 8 |
| Thereafter members
elected in such districts shall be elected | 9 |
| to a 6 year term. If at the
regular school election held in the | 10 |
| first odd-numbered year after the
determination to elect | 11 |
| members for 6 year terms 3 members are elected, they
shall | 12 |
| serve for a 6 year term; and of the members elected at the next
| 13 |
| regular school election 2 shall serve for a term of 2 years and | 14 |
| 2 shall
serve for a term of 6 years. Thereafter members elected | 15 |

| first odd-numbered year after the determination to elect | 25 |
| members for
a 6 year term 5 members are elected, 3 shall serve | 26 |
| for a term of 6 years

| 2 shall serve for terms of 6 years and 2 shall
serve for terms | 3 |
| of 2 years. Thereafter members elected in such districts
shall | 4 |
| be elected to a 6 year term. An election for board members | 5 |
| shall not
be held in school districts which by consolidation, | 6 |
| annexation or otherwise
shall cease to exist as a school | 7 |
| district within 6 months after the
election date, and the term | 8 |
| of all board members which would otherwise
terminate shall be | 9 |
| continued until such district shall cease to exist. Each

| in the school
directors. Terms of members are subject to | 22 |
| Section 2A-54 of the Election Code. | 23 |
| Nomination papers filed under this Section are not valid | 24 |
| unless the candidate
named therein files with the secretary of | 25 |
| the board of education or with

than | 13 |
| 868 days remaining in the term, or if the vacancy occurs
less | 14 |
| than 88
days before the next regularly scheduled election for | 15 |
| this office then the
person so appointed shall serve the | 16 |
| remainder of the unexpired term, and no
election to fill the | 17 |
| vacancy shall be held. Should they fail so to
act, within 45 | 18 |
| days after the vacancy occurs, the regional superintendent
of | 19 |
| schools under whose supervision and control the district is | 20 |
| operating,
as defined in Section 3-14.2 of this Act, shall | 21 |
| within 30 days after the
remaining members have failed to fill | 22 |
| the vacancy, fill the vacancy as

| regional superintendent's failure to fill the
vacancy, the | 24 |
| vacancy shall be filled at the next regularly scheduled
| 25 |
| election. Whether elected or appointed by the remaining members | 26 |
