California: Atwater School Trustee facing recall election

Atwater school Trustee Sheila Whitley is facing a recall election, though it may not be able to be run on Election Day in November.  Petitioners handed in 304 valids, 40 more than needed.

Whitley voted to terminate Atwater Elementary School District Superintendent Melinda Hennes, but have not stated their reasons to the public or the two dissenting trustees. The termination apparently cost $350,000 in salary.
