A. Each city or parish school board which is operating under a reapportionment plan which was ordered or approved by a federal court shall provide for the election of the members of the board for four-year concurrent terms, commencing at the earliest election date which does not require a reduction in the term of an incumbent member, and which will result in terms which coincide with the terms established by R.S. 17:52.
B. Each city or parish school board which on the effective date of this Section is under an order of a federal court to submit a plan for the reapportionment of the areas from which the members of the board are elected shall include in such plan provisions for the election of members of such boards for four-year concurrent terms, commencing at the earliest election date which does not require a reduction in the term of an incumbent member and which will result in terms which coincide with the terms established by R.S. 17:52.
C. To implement the four-year terms required by this Section, the school board may provide for shorter initial terms as necessary to result in election of all members to concurrent four-year terms.
