Upon the
establishment of a new school district of the first class as
provided for in *RCW 28A.315.580 containing no former
first-class district, the directors of the old school districts
who reside within the limits of the new district shall meet at
the call of the educational service district superintendent and
shall constitute the board of directors of the new district. If
fewer than five such directors reside in such new district, they
shall become directors of said district and the educational
service district board shall appoint the number of additional
directors to constitute a board of five directors for the
district. Vacancies, once such a board has been reconstituted,
shall not be filled unless the number of remaining board members
is less than five, and such vacancies shall be filled in the
manner otherwise provided by law.
Each board of directors so constituted shall proceed at once
to organize in the manner prescribed by law and thereafter shall
have all the powers and authority conferred by law upon boards of
directors of first-class school districts until the next regular
school election in the district at which election their
successors shall be elected and qualified. At such election no
more than five directors shall be elected either at large or by
director districts, as the case may be, two for a term of two
years and three for a term of four years: PROVIDED, That if such
first-class district is in a county with a population of two
hundred ten thousand or more and contains a city of the first
class, two directors shall be elected for a term of three years
and three directors shall be elected for a term of six years.
