AN ACT relating to school district superintendents.

This bill creates a new process in Kentucky that allows registered voters in a school district to recall their superintendent from office. Ten voters in the district can start the process by filing a recall affidavit with the county clerk, which then requires collecting signatures from at least 5,000 voters or 10% of the last presidential election votes in that district. The bill sets specific rules for how petitions must be prepared, including requirements for signature verification, publication notices, and timelines for the county clerk to review whether enough signatures were gathered. If the petition is deemed valid, a recall election will be held where voters decide whether to keep or remove the superintendent. The bill also includes provisions that allow a superintendent to cancel the recall election by resigning within 15 days after the petition is certified as sufficient.
