Voters soundly recalling 3 Richland school officials after they defied WA mask mandate

[Sewa]

Three Richland School Board members will be out of office in the next two weeks if election night voting trends hold as expected.

Initial Aug. 1 primary results show voters were clearly voting to oust Kari Williams, Audra Byrd and Semi Bird in a school district recall election.

Each of the three who voted for lifting the mandate faced three recall charges by a citizen’s group. They accused Bird, Byrd and Williams of:

Violating Washington’s Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) by taking final action on a matter not included on a published meeting agenda.

Violating state law on masking at the time, exceeding their powers and responsibilities as school board members.

Violating district policies and procedures by failing to assure compliance with laws and policies.
