Being a member of the SBDM Council is a responsibility that requires a commitment to the students as well as the entire school community. On rare occasions, circumstances prevent Council members from fulfilling this commitment. When this occurs, often the Council member will resign his/her responsibilities, and an election will be held to complete the term of the departing Council member. If the Council member chooses not to resign his/her position on the Council, the removal process may be initiated. This process is outlined in KRS 160.347 and KRS 156.132 and can be used for removal of a Council member who is not attending meetings. This process might also be initiated for other circumstances as well. In summary, the removal process includes submitting the complaint to the chief state school officer, who shall make a recommendation to the local board of education. The local board of education will have a hearing regarding the removal of the Council member and must obtain a four-fifths vote for the removal to occur.
