Maine: Arundel's RSU 21 School Board member loses recall vote after she resigns

Though she resigned weeks ago, the recall vote was still held for Arundel's RSU 21 School Board member Kristin Shapiro, and she lost 171-3

The recall effort was over claims about behavior and the board censured her for comments and outbursts, though the precipitating event seems to be that she is also on the contract negotiations committee (with a contract currently in mediation), which has led to tensions between teachers and the board. 

Petitioners needed 231 signatures (10% of gubernatorial turnout) in 14 days. 

In 2022, Kennebunk had a recall against school board member Tom Stentiford, which he survived. Contract negotiations were also a major part of that recall.
