HB 2013 -- School Board Recall Elections

Co-Sponsors:  Walton, Haywood, Thompson, Troupe

This bill creates a method of recalling school board members in
addition to the procedures for recall outlined in the
academically deficient school statute.  Upon a petition signed by
at least 25% of the number of persons voting in the last school
board election, a recall election will be held.  The bill
specifies the requirements for filing the petition, its physical
form and content, and the procedure for verifying signatures.  If
a majority votes to retain the recalled member, the member
remains in office and cannot be subject to another recall, except
as provided in the academically deficient school statute.  If the
member is recalled, a successor will be chosen in the same manner
as vacancies are filled for any seven-member district.
