Maine: One of two Oxford Hills School Board Members resigns

One of two School Board Members in Paris' Oxford Hills School District who is facing a January 10 recall (though that is up for debate), has resigned. Julia Lester is reported to have quit the board (along with another member who was not facing a recall effort.

No word on the second member, Sarah Otterson, who is presumably facing a recall vote. The issue was  their support for a proposal to promote a "safe learning environment of students of all gender and sexual identities." Recall proponents arguing that the proposal would "allow teachers to withhold important information from parents."

700 signatures were turned in, though the recall seems to have a significant issue in that it is not clear that the town has the ability to initiate the recall because the school district serves multiple communities.

Update: Troy Ripley has been appointed to fill Lester's position.
