13-8-4. Elections and terms of office after increase in size of school board--Reduction in size of board. If at an election held pursuant to § 13-8-3 an increase in the number of board members is authorized, the school board is empowered to designate the number of vacancies and the number of years, not to exceed three years, in each vacancy so that all succeeding annual elections will have, insofar as practicable, the same number of vacancies to be filled.
The procedure for decreasing the number of board members shall be the same as for increasing the number of board members, and the board is similarly empowered to designate the vacancies and terms not to exceed three years; provided, that each school board member shall be entitled to complete the term of office to which he was elected.
