The volunteer group, Parents for Local Control, announced late yesterday that they have already collected over 60,000 signatures in their effort to recall Trustees Winsten and Maddox.  That is more than 30,000 per trustee in less than two months! WOW!

This is truly amazing considering it was an all volunteer effort and accomplished in such a short time frame.  The group is now organizing all the petitions while they continue to gather signatures and will then turn them into the Registrar of Voters in a few weeks to be verified.

It seems very encouraging that with this many signatures, the recall should easily qualify for the November ballot.  Some folks suggested that they continue to get signatures and wait for a special election (like Winsten, Maddox, and Beall did in 2008) which would make the recall a guaranteed success but in the end, no one wanted to rob the school district of money the way that Maddox did when he was elected.

I’m very proud to have worked with some of the amazing volunteers who coordinated this effort and look forward to voting for new trustees in November.
