The special election to recall the firebrand school board president in Temecula has been set for late May.
During his approximately 14 months on the board, Joseph Komrosky instituted a system of yellow and red cards— like a soccer referee— to control raucous meetings. He pushed to ban critical race theory and force schools to notify parents if their child is transgender.
It was those policies that pushed a PAC, called One Temecula Valley, to seek his recall. They don’t like how he’s injected his conservative Christian views into board decisions.
At last night's meeting to set a date for the recall, public comment was split between those who support Komrosky and those who don't.
Jessica Alexander, who’s a Temecula city council member, encouraged Komrosky to stand strong.
“You have passed everything you've promised since your campaign," said Alexander.
In a recent Instagram video, Komrosky said the recall is “asinine”.
The special election will be held on May 28.
