SB 473 - This act modifies provisions relating to school directors for urban school districts. SECTION 160.671: This act creates a procedure for recalling school board members in the St. Joseph School District. A recall election shall be held upon the submission of a petition signed by at least ten percent of the number of voters who voted in the last school board election. If a majority of voters vote to retain the school board member at issue, the member shall remain in office and cannot be subject to another recall election during his or her term. If a majority of voters vote to remove the member, the successor member will be chosen in the same manner as vacancies are filled as provided for urban school districts. SECTION 162.471: This act requires that any vacancies on the St. Joseph School District's school board be filled by the Buchanan County Commission. SECTION 162.481: Currently, the St. Joseph School District school board members serve a term of six years. This act establishes that, upon expiration of any term after August 28, 2015, the term of office will be for three years. SECTION 162.491: This act provides that a candidate for school board in the St. Joseph School District does not need to submit a petition with signatures. Instead, a candidate must file a declaration of candidacy with the board secretary. This act contains an emergency clause. MICHAEL RUFF
