THROW THE BUMS OUT

by Bob Walsh

An advocacy group in Loudon County, VA. has filed a petition to recall Brenda Sheridan, the head of the board.  

A recall petition was also filed against Beth Barts, who resigned before the process could run it's course.

A further move has been made to remove several other members of the board, a total of six of the members.  One of the members, Leslee King, died while the recall effort was under way..   

Recall supporters needed 803 signatures, 10% of the number of those who voted in the election, to get the recall on the ballot.  They in fact got 1,859 signatures in less than two weeks.

I strongly suspect the recall will be successful and the radical notion of parents having a say in their children's education will reign in Loudon County, VA.
