School boards can now extend board member terms from three years to four years if they want to coordinate their elections with other government elections in the same district. Before making this change, a school board must hold a public hearing with at least two newspaper notices posted at least ten days in advance, and can either approve the change themselves or let voters decide. This gives school districts flexibility to reduce election costs and voter confusion by holding multiple elections on the same day.
