Summary

The bill lets voters remove a school board member if they are convicted of a serious crime, fail to perform legally required duties, or misuse public funds or property. A recall petition must be signed by at least 25% of voters who participated in the last gubernatorial election, and the recall must be approved by a majority of voters in an election with at least 35% turnout. The measure sets strict timelines for filing, signature collection, certification, and voting.
