Ala. Code § 45-28A-41.22

A member shall reside in the City of Gadsden and in the district the member represents during the entire term of office. If the boundaries of a city council district change, the corresponding board of education district shall automatically change accordingly for the next election of the city board of education. If redistricting places an incumbent board member outside of his or her district, the member shall nevertheless continue to serve the remainder of the term to which he or she was elected or appointed.
