Supporters of the incumbents say the win shows most people don’t side with efforts to prevent COVID safeguards or stop the teaching of race and racism in schools.
A recall of four Mequon-Thiensville School Board members Tuesday failed to unseat any of them, an outcome supporters of a race that attracted national media attention said shows many voters don’t agree with the divisive campaign by conservatives to oust the incumbents.
Board members Wendy Francour, Erik Hollander, Akram Khan, and Chris Schultz each won more than 58% of the vote, according to election results the school district posted. People who worked on behalf of incumbent board members said the vote validates the fact that the school district is providing students with a quality education.
