South Dakota school board members can now be recalled by voters through a petition process established in this new law. A recall petition must describe specific grounds for removal (such as misconduct, incompetence, or corruption), be signed by at least 15 percent of registered voters in the school district, and be filed with the school district's business manager. The State Board of Elections will set rules for how recall petitions are formatted and processed.
