ORIGINAL POST:
MEQUON- Four members of the Mequon-Thiensville School Board are facing a recall election after parents in the district became disenchanted in the work they were doing.
The recall effort was organized by Amber Schroeder, though she is not one of the candidate running for office. The four candidates are Scarlett Johnson, Kris Kittell, Cheryle Rebholz and Charles Lorenz. The current officeholders facing the recall are Wendy Francour, Erik Hollander, Akram Kahn, and Chris Schultz.
Schroeder cited falling academic standards, issues over critical race theory, and disagreements over COVID-19 mitigation efforts as the reason for setting up the recall.
