As the terms of county school board members who presently hold office expire, members shall be elected for four-year terms at the time of each regular primary election commencing with the year one thousand nine hundred ninety. The terms of such members shall begin on July 1, next following the primary election at which they were elected.
The term of office of any member of any county board of education shall immediately cease, and a vacancy shall exist, upon occurrence of ineligibility as prescribed in section one-a of this article.
This section shall in no manner be construed so as to affect the unexpired terms of county school board members who hold office or were elected under prior existing law.
