A JOINT RESOLUTION TO CREATE A COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE FORMATION OF SINGLE-MEMBER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN KERSHAW COUNTY.

Whereas, the members of the Kershaw County School Board of Trustees currently are elected from Kershaw County at large; and

Whereas, litigation has begun regarding this manner of representation on the board; and

Whereas, public input is necessary to determine the opinion of Kershaw County's citizens as to the formation of single-member school districts. Now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Committee to study single-member school districts

(3) one member of the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce appointed by its president;

(4) one member appointed by a majority of the Kershaw County legislative delegation;

(5) two members of the Kershaw County Black Caucus appointed by its chairman.

Duties

SECTION 2. The committee shall:

(1) organize and elect a chairman at its first meeting;

(2) gather and assimilate information in devising a single-member district plan;

(3) conduct public hearings if necessary;

(4) develop and submit a plan before May 2, 1991, to the Kershaw County legislative delegation with the committee's findings and recommendations. The committee shall use the decennial census figures released before April 2, 1991, when formulating the plan.

Dissolution

SECTION 3. Upon the submission of its report the committee is dissolved.

Time effective

SECTION 4. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
