Three Templeton School Board trustees could face recall 

Frustrated parents handed notice to three trustees at meeting

– Frustrated parents initiated the recall of three trustees in the Templeton Unified School District. The notice occurred at last night’s Templeton Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting.

Leah Penner handed trustees Nelson Yamagata, Clerk Mendi Swan, and Ted Dubost letters advising them of the intent to file for their recall with the San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder. Each of the three trustees would be up for reelection in 2024. Two other trustees face reelection in November of this year, however, they have yet to announce they are running.

Jennifer Grenniger of Moms for Liberty says the trustees were not responsive to parents, particularly during the recent pandemic. She says they delayed making decisions which subjected students to unnecessary restrictions which other school districts avoided.

If the recall moves forward, those three trustees may face recall on November’s ballot.
