HB 1087 -- School Board Recall Elections

Sponsor:  Boykins

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, the procedure for verifying signatures, and for
placing the matter on the ballot.  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 by the method used to fill vacancies on seven-
director boards, specified in Section 162.261, RSMo.
