San Francisco voters overwhelmingly cast their ballots to remove three members of the city’s school board Tuesday night, marking the first time in the city’s history members of the board have been recalled.
Parents across the country have clashed with school boards on everything from remote learning to mask mandates. Some Bay Area parents say their school board did not adequately plan for reopening.
The three members will now be replaced with appointees selected by Mayor London Breed, who endorsed the recall, until another election is held for the positions in November.A pedestrian walks past a San Francisco Unified School District office building in San Francisco, California, on Feb. 3, 2022. “Elections can be difficult, but these parents were fighting for what matters most -- their children,” Breed said. “It’s time we refocus our efforts on the basics of providing quality education for all students, while more broadly improving how this City delivers support for children and families.”
“School boards are where the rubber meets the road when it comes to Americans meeting their government,” ABC News Political Director Rick Klein said of the recall. “Schools, for better or worse, are the battlefront. They’re where the major issues of 2022 are colliding for so many Americans.”
