California: Newly appointed Desert Sands School Board Trustee removed after petitions taken out

A recently appointed Desert Sands School Board Trustee Jacob Alvarez was removed after petitions were taken out against him. Because he was recently appointed, the Superintendent could remove him and order a special election (which Alvarez will be running in). There were recall efforts against School Board Trustees Tricia Pearce and Wendy Jonathan over their support of restrictions to combat the coronavirus pandemic (though Jonathan has apparently since said she would oppose vaccine and mask mandates). There are also complaints over ethnic studies curriculum. There are also recall attempts against Trustees Ana Conover, Don Griffith (who resigned and was replaced by Alvarez) and Linda Porras, but the paperwork was incorrect.
