Michigan: Grant Public School Board Members face May 7th recall

The recall election against two Grant Public Schools Board of Education members Rachal Gort and Richard Vance is set for May 7th.  There were also recall attempts against Sabrina Veltkamp-Bol and Ken Thorne (the other seat was opened). Petitioners are still attempting a recall against Veltkamp-Bol (Thorne is on the November ballot). 

The recall is over their votes to end a partnership with a health center that works in the middle school. The vote may have been because of a mural that features LGBTQ+ "witchcraft" and "Satan" imagery. The artist has stated the images are from video games and Hispanic culture. The superintendent also resigned, possibly under pressure.

Petitioners need 1091 in 60 days.
