Five community members have filed a lawsuit seeking to remove St. Joseph School District board member Kim Miller, alleging she violated the Missouri Constitution by voting to hire her son. The legal challenge, filed Friday, claims Miller forfeited her seat on March 24 when she approved a personnel report that included her relative, an act the state constitution strictly prohibits for public officials. While Miller has requested to rescind her vote to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, the lawsuit asks the court to declare her office vacant and nullify any board actions she has participated in since the incident.
