An election will be held with School Board seats apportioned by district following the same apportionment set up for the Assembly. All seats shall continue with the staggered terms of office of three (3) years set by this Charter.
At the time the Denali Borough assumes control of the REAA, all employees of the REAA shall continue in employment until the School Board, as the case may be, provides otherwise. Salaries and benefits enjoyed by current REAA employees shall continue unless provisions are made to the contrary.
The Denali Borough, as a home rule borough, shall succeed to all the assets and liabilities of the previously existing Rural Education Attendance Area #14 at the time it takes over education powers.
The adoption of this Charter shall not abate or otherwise affect any action, cause of action, claim, proceeding, civil or criminal, by or against the Railbelt School District and which had accrued at the time of the effective date of this Charter. The applications, petitions, hearings, and other proceedings pending on the effective date before the Denali Borough shall be continued.
