County board of education; term of office changed from six to four years, local constitutional amendment proposed
HB 274 proposes amending Alabama's constitution to change the term length for Crenshaw County Board of Education members from six years to four years. If approved by voters, this change would take effect starting with the November 2026 election for the county's school board. The bill requires voter approval through a statewide election, as specified in Alabama's constitution and election laws. This amendment would directly affect Crenshaw County residents and school board members by altering their election cycle and term duration.
