Former Garfield Re-2 School Board President Tony May is facing a recall election on Aug. 27. Last year, May led efforts to implement American Birthright Standards, which ultimately failed to gain approval from the board after facing significant resistance from community members and district personnel. Organizers of the recall petition that followed accused May of bullying community members and Re-2 staff members, misusing his position and more.
His opponent is Sott Bolitho, endorsed by the Coalition for Responsible Education in Re-2, who was profiled in the Post Independent and Citizen Telegram last week.
May resigned as board president in December, aiming to reduce political tensions.
