Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing elections for the recall of a member of the board of trustees of an independent school district.
HJR 181 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing voters in independent school districts to recall school board members through a majority vote in a special election. If approved, it would amend Texas' Constitution to authorize the legislature to create laws enabling this recall process. The amendment must be voted on by Texas voters in the November 4, 2025 election. It directly affects school district voters and board members of independent school districts, establishing a formal mechanism for removing board members via public vote.
