Garfield Re-2 school board special election recall ballots will be sent out today
Ballots are being sent out today for a special election for a seat on the Garfield Re-2 School District’s board of directors.
That’s after a recall petition for former president Tony May over his support of the conservative American Birthright Standards for social studies, among other things.
Organizers of the recall accuse May of using his seat to push a political agenda, as well as bullying and intimidating district staff and parents.
May has also stirred up controversy among community groups like Voces Unidas, which he said pushed “radical agendas” in a 2023 email.
