AI Summary

  • Creates a recall election procedure for school board members in seven-director districts with K-12 enrollment between 11,500 and 12,000 pupils (2013-14) in charter counties with 200,000-350,000 inhabitants (targeting Fox C-6 School District in Arnold)

  • Recall elections require a petition signed by at least 10% of voters from the last school board election, filed with the election authority and district board secretary

  • Election authority has 30 days to verify petition signatures; if sufficient, the recall election must be held between 45 and 120 days after the board receives the petition

  • If voters approve recall, the member is removed; if voters reject recall, the member remains and cannot face another recall during their term

  • School board vacancies in the affected district must be filled by appointment by the county executive with county council consent, rather than by remaining board members
