Fights over control of local school boards are happening across the state and in many cases, they involve recall elections. In the Bay Area community of Sunol, two school board trustees are facing a recall election in July. In September, Ryan Jergensen and Linda Hurley voted to ban all flags at the school other than the state and federal flags. Similar fights over conservative school board policies are heading to the ballot in communities across California. On Tuesday, the board president of the Temecula Valley Unified School District in Riverside County faces a recall election over policies akin to those passed in Sunol.
