Mississippi HB573 sets forth procedures for the removal of school board members who neglect their duties, engage in malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance in office, or breach public trust. Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 20% or more of meetings, is grounds for removal. The local school board president must recommend removal, and the local governing authority will hold a hearing. The accused board member can appeal the decision to the circuit court and, if necessary, the Mississippi Supreme Court.
