Seattle parents petition to recall 5 board members

The Seattle Times published an interesting story today about how parents are challenging the Seattle School Board’s decision to rehire the superintendent by petitioning for a recall election for five of the seven members.

The group alleges the board didn’t fully consider a recent audit on the district’s finance policies before rehiring Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson.

The petition will go before a judge, before the group must then get 32,000 signatures to win the recall election, according to The Times.
