Idaho: Three Middleton School Board members facing August 27 recall

The recall against Middleton School Board Members Tim Winkle, Marianne Blackwell and Alicia McConkie has met the signature requirement, and it will be on the ballot in a special election on August 27.

The recall is over a vote not to renew the High School principal's contact. The principal has accused school administrators of harassing him. A fourth member, Kirk Adams, is facing threats, but due to his recent election, is not eligible for a recall until the November election. For the recall to succeed, the vote to remove must exceed the amount of votes the candidate received when they won the office in the last election.
