SB 949 - This act requires the St. Louis County Board of Election Commissioners to establish seven wards for the purpose of electing directors in certain schools in the county in which are located a street light maintenance district with a registration of more than 1,000 but less than 3,000 voters, or in which is wholly located a street light maintenance district with a registration of more than 500 but less than 1,000 voters. The process for drawing the wards is described in the act. All members of the school district board shall be elected or appointed to represent one of the wards, beginning with the first general municipal election or vacancy occurring after August 28, 2022. Ward residency requirements for members, as well as provisions for current members of the board, are outlined in the act.
