Amends existing law to revise the appointment procedures for the Board of Education, including establishing geographical representation of seats on the Board of Education.

This legislation establishes seven geographical regions for appointment to the State Board of Education. Each region holds five state legislative districts. If a qualified candidate who resides in the region does not apply within six months of the state posting a vacancy, the governor may appoint an interim board member for an abbreviated term of no more than three years. No more than two of the seven board members may be interim appointments, and interim board members may not reside in the county of any other board member.
