Idaho: Idaho Falls School Board member recall vote scheduled for May 18

The recall effort against Idaho Falls School Board Trustee Lara Hill seems to have been scheduled for May 18. Hill is facing a recall effort over her support for hybrid learning in order to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Petitioners had previously attempted a recall against Hill but failed to get the signatures. They need 481 signatures.

Another Idaho Falls School Trustee, Elizabeth Cogliati, survived a recall vote in March over the same issue (an effort against a third trustee, Hillary Radcliffe, never got the signatures.

One of the leaders of the recall effort is State Representative Bryan Zollinger (R), who apparently wanted students in school four days a week. Zollinger had supported Hill in her campaign.
