Michigan: Petition language rejected in recall attempt against two Flint School Board Members

Petitions have been rejected against Flint School Board of Education Chair Joyce Ellis-McNeal and Treasurer Laura McIntyre over unclear language.

The petitions focused on a complaint filed by former board member Anita Steward over racial discrimination. 

Petitions were previously filed against Ellis-McNeal over claims of violating policy by voting to reopen contracts. It is not clear who originated the recall. Ellis-McNeal only became the president recently, after previous president Danielle Green was charged with assaulting another board member during a meeting.
