20-3-353. Establishment and purpose of trustee nominating districts. (1) After the county superintendent has determined the number of additional trustee positions, he shall establish trustee nominating districts in that portion of the high school district without representation on the high school trustees. There shall be one trustee nominating district for each additional trustee position, except the additional trustee-at-large. Unless it is impossible, the trustee nominating district boundaries shall be coterminous with elementary district boundaries.
     (2) The purpose of the trustee nominating district shall be to establish a representative district for the nomination and election of a resident of such district to be an additional member of the trustees of a high school district. The electors qualified to vote in the high school district under the provisions of 20-20-301 and who reside in the trustee nominating district shall be the only electors who may vote for the additional trustee representing such district. They also shall be permitted to vote for a trustee position at large, if there is one, but for no other high school trustee position.
     (3) Any additional trustee position established under the provisions of this section shall be filled in a manner prescribed under the provisions of 20-3-309. Each additional trustee position filled by appointment under this section shall be subject to election at the next regular school election.
