Effort to recall Douglas County school board leaders in November halts; organizers pledge future push

The effort to recall Douglas County’s four new school board leaders this November has ended a month after it began, organizers announced Tuesday afternoon.

In a news release, the group running the effort, DougCo’s Future, said it didn’t want to hurt other November ballot measures that seek to raise money for the district.

But it promised that a “recall is coming”: The organizers said they planned to “continue our work organizing and fundraising in order to support this recall” going forward, and a spokesman said the group will begin gathering signatures “as soon as we’re ready.”

“The campaign has not been suspended,” spokesman Jake Meuli said in an email. “The team has been working in earnest to get organized and setup as an issue committee. Recalls are not easy (nor should they be). We have a very quick window to get the signatures required and we’ll start that process just as soon as we’re ready — so long as it doesn’t interfere with the bond/mill vote.”
