An effort to recall four members of the Conejo Valley School Board in California was discussed in February 2014. Recall supporters mentioned removing Peggy Buckles and Betsy Connolly during a board meeting on February 18, 2014, but no paperwork was submitted.[1][2]
Recall supporter arguments
Larry Conti sought to recall four members of the board who refused to hear an appeal of his son's suspension from Westlake High School. Dominic Conti, a senior at the school, was suspended in October 2013 for confronting a fellow student who harassed his sister. School administrators suspended Conti and removed his title as senior class president. The board upheld the school's decision by a 4-1 vote during a February 4, 2014, meeting. The Conti family did not discuss recalling Mike Dunn because he was the lone vote for an appeal on February 4.[1]
Path to the ballot

Recall supporters would have had to submit a Notice of Intent with the Ventura County Clerk that includes ballot language to begin the recall process. As of October 15, 2014, no Notice of Intent had been filed. The clerk provides a seven-day window for recall targets to submit responses that appear on the ballot if an election is scheduled. Petitioners would have had to submit 12,000 valid signatures within 160 days of the clerk's approval for recall language. This total equals 15 percent of the district's then 80,000 registered voters.[1]
