LA Times - first coverage of recall success: Entire Groveland, Calif., school board recalled

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-school-board-recall20-2009may20,0,2406523.story - first coverage of the complete recall of the Groveland Big Oak Flat School Board.

"...But recall opponents, among them ousted board member Dave Gookin, argued that the student effort was a front for angry adults with designs on school board seats and reflected long-standing tensions between the growing Lake Don Pedro area and the town of Groveland."

Seems Dave forgot that the Teacher's Association voted No Confidence in the Superintendent, Mari Brabbin, and the School Board. The Classified Staff also voted to support the teachers in their slate of new candidates. Of course, no one from the Teachers Association or Classified Staff ran for the Board. The Civics teacher who helped the students discover laws and rules about boards and study lawful protest also did not run for the Board.
