See also: Rick Ledesma and Madison Miner recall, Orange Unified School District, California (2023-2024)

Recall elections against Madison Klovstad Miner and Rick Ledesma, the Trustee Area 4 and Trustee Area 7 representatives on the Orange Unified School District Board of Education in California, were held on March 5, 2024.[1] A majority of voters cast ballots in favor of removing them from office, approving the recall.[2]

The recall effort started after the board voted 4-3 in a special meeting on January 5, 2023, to fire the district's superintendent and place the district’s assistant superintendent of education on paid leave pending a curriculum and academic audit. Ledesma and Miner voted in favor of the superintendent's firing along with John Ortega and Angie Schlueter-Rumsey. The board did not give a reason for the decision. In the same meeting, the board appointed Edward Velasquez as interim superintendent and Craig Abercrombie as assistant superintendent.[3]

Ledesma was re-elected to a four-year term on the seven-member board on November 8, 2022. He defeated two opponents with 51.5% of the vote. Miner was elected to the board in the same election, defeating incumbent Kathryn A. Moffat with 50.2% of the vote. Both Ledesma and Miner ran as part of a candidate slate in 2022 that pledged to support charter school parents and be independent of the teachers union. The other two members of the candidate slate did not win election.[4]

The table was limited to the lower chamber because it provides the most granularity. State house districts tend to be more numerous and therefore smaller than state senate or U.S. House districts. This provides an impression of the partisan affiliations in the area.

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."[6]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

School year All (%) Asian/Pacific Islander (%) Black (%) Hispanic (%) Native American (%) Two or More Races (%) White (%)
