2019 will be the first year for election of regional
trustees under the new regional
map. Normal terms are 3 years, but for this first election under the
new system, some districts were assigned shorter terms. These staggered terms
were randomly assigned, and are a one-time solution to avoid having all seats
up for re-election in the same year in the future.
Below are the terms for regional trustees elected in 2019:
Region 1 – 3 years
Region 2 – 1 year
Region 3 – 2 years
Region 4 – 2 years
Region 5 – 3 years
In
every case, the next election after 2019 will be for a full 3-year term; in
2020, Region 2 will elect a trustee for a full 3-year term, and in 2021 Regions
3 and 4 will elect trustees for full 3-year terms.
