Moves school board elections to the November general election

SB 485 proposes to change the timing of school board elections. Specifically, it moves these elections from their current schedule to occur concurrently with the November general election. This means voters will cast ballots for school board members at the same time they vote for state and federal offices. The bill directly affects individuals running for school board positions and all eligible voters in school districts.
