This bill would create a new process in Kentucky law allowing voters to remove a local school board member from office before their term ends through a recall election. Currently, no such recall process exists for school board members under this chapter of state law. The bill also makes a related adjustment to an existing education statute to align with the new rules. Who it may affect: voters, parents, and residents in local school districts across Kentucky.
