The petitions are in!
I was at the Registrar of Voters this morning when over 65,000 signatures were submitted in the effort to recall Trustees Winsten and Maddox. There was no official notice but we are pretty sure that this is the fastest that any recall of this type has been submitted in Orange County. The ability to gather that many signatures in 60 days just proves how disatisfied people are with the current school board.
This effort, which began in January has been very exciting from the standpoint of how many volunteers came forward to help with the process. I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful dedicated parents, teachers, and community members during this process as we have all come together to work for a common goal.
We need 22,000 valid signatures in order for the recall to qualify for the November ballot. The registrar has until June 28 to count and verify the signatures.
