This board member is outside of that coverage scope and does not receive scheduled updates.
Paul Broughton represents Trustee Area 3 on the Yuba City Board of Education in California. The seat was up for general election on November 4, 2014. Paul Broughton won the general election on November 4, 2014.
Broughton was targeted for recall in July 2016, along with three other members of the school board. Proponents of the recall said board members had created "an increasingly negative and hostile environment" during teacher compensation negotiations. The targeted board members, however, said the board had tried to resolve issues "in a fair and equitable manner."[1] The recall effort did not turn in petitions by the deadline on December 9, 2016.[2]
