HB2318

School districts; elections; term limits

Chamber Passed·2/24/26

Arizona HB2318 amends school district governing board elections and term limits.

Arizona HB2318 revises the election process for school district governing board members. It mandates that if a district increases its governing board to five members, the three candidates with the highest number of votes will be elected to four-year terms. If two previous offices are to be filled, the three candidates with the highest number of votes will also be elected to four-year terms. The bill also introduces term limits, making a person ineligible to be a candidate if they have served eight consecutive years as a governing board member for a district with at least 250 students.
