§ 22.1-36.1. Composition of school board in certain cases.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a county contains a town that is a separate school division and contains an entire supervisor election district, the school board for such county, regardless of whether it is elected or appointed, shall have no member representing such election district town. Instead, the county school board shall be comprised of one member elected or appointed from each of the remaining election districts that contains no part of the town and any election district containing no more than five percent of town residents, and an additional member elected or appointed at large from the entire county, excluding the town.
