DPCCC membership approved the following resolution at the July 15, 2021 regular meeting.
WHEREAS, each MDUSD School Board Trustee has been duly elected in a proper election; each MDUSD School Board Trustee has faithfully performed the duties of their positions and made decisions and voted in the best interests of students over their term; and
WHEREAS, the current proposed recall is motivated by anger and is destructive to the body politic; and
WHEREAS, if the recall is required, the special election process will require the district to spend up to $1.9 Million of district funds on ballots and processing fees; and this frivolous recall will siphon hundreds of thousands from student programs; and this unnecessary recall will absorb management and board attention and effort, which would be better used ensuring the safe, secure and efficient return to in-person learning district wide;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Democratic Party of Contra Costa County hereby states our firm opposition to the current efforts to recall the MDUSD School Board Trustees.
