Schools; prohibiting former school employees from running for or serving on the district board if they were terminated for cause; effective date.

HB 4123 prohibits individuals who were terminated "for cause" (serious reasons like misconduct) by a school district from running for or serving on that district's board of education. It directly affects former school employees who lost their jobs due to serious violations, barring them from future board roles in the same district. The bill includes an exception allowing current board members serving terms at the law's effective date to complete their full terms. It becomes effective November 1, 2026, and does not apply to terminations not deemed "for cause."
