Upon the establishment of a new school district of the first
class as provided for in *RCW 28A.315.580 containing more than
one former first-class district, the directors of the largest
former first-class district and three directors representative of
the other former first-class districts selected by a majority of
the board members of the former first-class districts and two
directors representative of former second-class districts
selected by a majority of the board members of former
second-class districts shall meet at the call of the educational
service district superintendent and shall constitute the board of
directors of the new district. Vacancies once such a board has
been reconstituted shall not be filled unless the number of
remaining board members is less than seven, 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 of the powers and authority conferred by law upon boards
of first-class districts until the next regular school election
and until their successors are elected and qualified. At such
election other than districts electing directors for six-year
terms as provided in **RCW 29.13.060, as now or hereafter
amended, 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. At such election for
districts electing directors for six years other than a district
having within its boundaries a city with a population of four
hundred thousand people or more and electing directors for six
year terms, five directors shall be elected either at large or by
director districts, as the case may be, one for a term of two
years, two for a term of four years, and two for a term of six
years.
