Fair questions

Because they are the three a recall can reach. This board’s record belongs to all five of its members, but the other two seats are already on the November 2026 ballot, where voters can weigh in directly without a recall. Replacing three of five changes the majority, which is what it takes to change how the district is run.

TIDE’s closure is what brought many of us together, and it is one clear example of how this board operates. It is not the case for recall. The case is the pattern: closed process, spending without accounting for results, and no real supervision of the superintendent. That affects every campus and every family in this district.

These three seats are not on this November’s ballot. Waiting leaves the current majority in place through the next budget, the next superintendent contract, and whatever it decides next without telling anyone first.

No. We are going after a governing majority and the way it makes decisions. If the other two seats could be recalled on the same timeline, the same questions would apply to them. They face voters in November instead.

The district does. That cost is real, and it is the direct consequence of a board that lost the community’s confidence. The far larger cost is leaving the same decision-making in place.

Signatures from 20% of the registered voters in each trustee’s area, gathered within 120 days of the notice being published. Every signature must come from a voter registered in that specific area, which is why checking your address matters.

Each recalled seat is filled as state law provides, and the board returns to the community that elected it. A recall does not hand the district to anyone. It resets who answers to whom.
