Summary

The bill creates a process for a local school board to recommend, and a local governing authority to decide, the removal of a board member who commits malfeasance, misfeasance, nonfeasance, neglect of duties, breaches public trust, abuses authority, or is chronically absent from meetings. It requires notice, a 30‑day response period, a hearing, and a majority vote for removal, with the option to appeal to the courts. The measure also amends compensation rules for board members but does not provide new funding.
