Rep. Steve Carter has introduced a bill that would allow voters to implement term limits on their school board members. The bill offered by Carter, R-Baton Rouge, would set local-option elections Nov. 2 that would cap school board members at three terms, according to The Times-Picayune. Carter, who heads the Capital Region Legislative Delegation, introduced a bill last year that would have capped all school board members at three terms. That measure failed. Barry Erwin, chairman of the Council for a Better Louisiana, which backs Carter’s bill, told The Times-Picayune the local option vote gives the term-limits measure a better chance of passing. Lafayette and Jefferson parishes already have term limits for school board members, so the bill would not affect them. Read the full story on Carter’s bill here.
