Proposed by Del. Thomas “Tag” Greason (R-eastern Loudoun), House Bill 704 won overwhelming support in both bodies, and now awaits Gov. Robert McDonnell’s signature to become law.
Greason, who once ran for a spot of the School Board, said the goal of staggered terms is to create “consistency” on the board by limiting the amount of turnover.
“That’s helpful if the School Board is working on a big, long-term project,” he said.
