By statute, the term of office for an elected school board member is four years, commencing on the first Monday in January and continuing until a successor qualifies. Minn. Stat. § 123B.09, subd. 1 (2008). But generally stating the term of office for school-board members does not alone create a requirement that an election be held exactly four years after the previous election, regardless of the circumstances. We note, for example, that school-board-member terms have been extended in the past. Prior to the 1994 amendment to Minn. Stat. § 205A.04, school-board elections were held on the third Tuesday in May, unless the school board passed a resolution providing for a November election. Minn. Stat. § 205A.04, subd. 1 (1992). The 1994 legislature provided that, when a school board changed its general election from May to November, all board-member terms were lengthened to expire on January 1. 1994 Minn. Laws ch. 646, § 18, subd. 1; Minn. Stat. § 205A.04 (1994).
