School Board Election Modifications

SB 326 modifies term lengths for school board president and vice president in *new* Utah school districts. It allows newly formed districts to set initial terms as either: (a) the remainder of the calendar year they join plus one additional year, or (b) the remainder plus three additional years. This change applies only to the first terms of officers in districts established after the bill takes effect in 2026. Existing districts and subsequent terms remain unchanged under current two-year election cycles. The bill does not appropriate funds or alter voting procedures for regular elections.
