Alexandria City Council received a recommendation from the joint ad hoc committee on School Board election reforms Tuesday (Nov. 10), but it is unclear if and when the council will take up the proposed city charter amendment.
The committee recommended moving the Alexandria City School Board from three-year to four-year concurrent terms, with a targeted implementation date of 2033. All nine School Board members would be elected to three-year transitional terms in 2030, and future elections would implement four-year terms starting in 2033 to align with Virginia gubernatorial elections.
