School district and community college district governing boards: vacancy elections.

Summary

The bill would require any special election called to fill a school district or community college board vacancy to be merged with the next regularly scheduled election, and it lets the provisional appointee stay in office until that election is certified. It also modifies charter school renewal rules, letting lower‑performing charters be renewed if they show measurable academic gains or strong post‑secondary outcomes until new growth data become available. The measure failed to advance and was dismissed by committee.
