Bill summary

Conference report recommends the following changes to 2nd edition to reconcile matters in controversy. States that the Lincoln County Board of Education consists of seven members. Requires that five members be residents and qualified voters of the districts according to membership allocations made by the Lincoln County Board of Education with the population of each district being within 5% of the ideal population, and that two members be elected from the county at large without regard to district residency. Directs the Lincoln County Board of Education to revise the district boundaries set out by the Board of Education after each federal census so as to correct population imbalances among the districts. Directs the Lincoln County Board of Education to draw residency districts, as required, for use in the 2012 elections using population data from the 2010 federal decennial census. Makes other clarifying changes.
