An effort to recall Lisa Roman from her position as president of the Lake Havasu Unified School District governing board in Arizona did not go to a vote in 2020. Recall supporters did not submit petition signatures by the deadline on December 21, 2020.[1]
The recall effort started after a board meeting in which the board discussed curriculum changes surrounding the 1619 Project by the New York Times. Recall supporters found Roman's attempts to keep order at the meeting unnecessarily strict, according to Today's News-Herald.[2][3]
