South Dakota voters can now recall school board members by submitting a petition signed by at least 15% of registered voters in their school district, but only for specific reasons like crimes in office, corruption, gross incompetency, or misconduct. The school district's business manager must present valid petitions to the board at their next regular meeting, and signatures must have been collected within 60 days of filing. This creates a new mechanism for removing school board members that didn't previously exist in state law.
