Sequoia Union Recall Rejected Over Petition Error

22 May 2026 16:24

The San Mateo County Elections Office rejected a recall effort against Sequoia Union High School District board member Richard Ginn due to a clerical error. - The parent group TIDE Rising filed a preliminary draft instead of the final document.

- The recall stems from the district's decision to close TIDE Academy in Menlo Park. - Previous attempts to recall trustees Mary Beth Thompson and Maria Cruz were also rejected.

- TIDE Rising plans to restart the recall process for all three board members. The group encourages community awareness of district operations.
