HB 1418 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Wilson County - Subject to local approval, transfers control and governance of the Tenth Special School District of Wilson County from a board of directors and commissioners composed of three members to a Board of Education composed of five members; divides the Tenth Special School district into five districts of proportionate population; establishes staggered terms for the members of the Board of Education of four years. - Amends Chapter 330 of the Acts of 1901; as amended.

HB 1418 changes Wilson County's Tenth School District governance by expanding its governing board from three to five members, dividing the district into five population-based districts, and implementing staggered four-year terms for board members. It requires Wilson County's legislative body to approve the change by two-thirds vote before taking effect. Board members must reside in their district for one year prior to election, serve no more than two terms, and be elected from their specific district under Tennessee's general election laws. The district must submit new boundary maps to the Wilson County Election Commission by September 1, 2025, to implement the changes.
