The USD 299 Board of Education is asking registered voters to approve a restructuring of the Board of Education’s voting plan on Tuesday, November 3rd.
The current USD 299 voting structure has been in place for over a decade. It was established following a 2010 land transfer that brought territory from the USD 407 Russell County School District—encompassing the Lucas and Luray areas—into USD 299.
To ensure fair representation at that time, the district adopted a two-district system:
Three members elected from the Sylvan-Hunter-Vesper-Denmark region
Three members elected from the Lucas-Luray region
One member elected at-large
A new geographic shift prompted the school board to re-evaluate this layout. At its August 2026 meeting, the USD 299 Board of Education officially approved a land transfer agreement with USD 112. Under this agreement, the Wilson and Dorrance area land will formally transfer to USD 299 on July 1st, 2027.
In anticipation of this growth, the board reviewed alternative representation models to ensure equal representation for all conjoining communities. Because of election cycles and legal timelines, residents in the newly acquired Wilson and Dorrance territory will not be eligible to run for school board office until 2029. Approving a new layout now paves the way for eventual shared leadership.
The ballot measure asks patrons to approve a transition to a 3-district voting method and Voting Plan C. This structure divides the school district into a three (3) member district with two (2) board members elected from each member district and one (1) board member elected at large. Under Voting Plan C, all registered voters may vote in both the primary and general election for the member positions of their member district and for the at-large member positions.
