Briggs of Mara Hill introduced a bill in the Sen ate Wednesday which If dteaiffned to put Madison Oounty under the statewide school board election law adopted by the 1967 General Assembly. The bill would repeal a local act adopted in 1969 providing for the election of a Madison County Board of Education by districts.
