An Act relating to the division of certain rural high school districts and con-
solidated independent school districts into election precincts by the Board
of County School Trustees in certain counties; providing for the mode of
election and terms of office of school trustees in said rural high school dis-
tricts and consolidated independent school districts; and declaring an

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
Section 1. This Act shall apply only to rural high school districts and
consolidated independent school districts composed of the territory for-
merly comprising ten (10) original school districts, one of which shall
have been an independent district, each original school district having
a scholastic population of less than two hundred (200), in counties with
a total population of not less than forty thousand two hundred (40,200)
and not more than forty-one thousand two hundred (41,200) according to
the last preceding Federal Census.
It is immaterial whether such rural high school district or consolidated
independent school district shall have been established, or shall be estab-
lished, by consolidation, or by annexation, or by grouping the original
school districts.
Sec. 2. In all rural high school and independent school districts to
which this Act is applicable a Board of seven (7) trustees shall be elected
by the voters of the district at large, and two (2) of such trustees shall
be elected from the territory formerly comprising the one independent
school district containing less than two hundred (200) scholastic popula-
tion, and the other five (5) trustees shall be elected from the territory
formerly comprising the common school districts having fewer than two
hundred (200) scholastic population.
Sec. 3. In all districts to which this Act is applicable it shall be the
duties of the Board of County School Trustees of the county in which
each school district is situated to divide'the territory of such rural high
school district or consolidated independent school district, exclusive of
the territory formerly comprising the one independent school district
having less than two hundred (200) scholastic population, into five (5)
areas, and to define such areas; and one trustee shall be elected from
each of such areas so established and defined by the County Board; but
it is expressly provided that each of such trustees is to be elected by the
5. Vernon's Ann.Civ.St. art. 29221(3.1).
