Alec Johnson:

Scarlett Johnson, Kris Kittell, Charles Lorenz and Cheryle Rebholz will be on the ballot, along with incumbent Mequon-Thiensville School Board members Wendy Francour, Erik Hollander, Akram Khan and Chris Schultz. It’s unclear if anyone else besides the incumbents and the candidates supported by the recall organizers will run.

“Our community has told us loud and clear that they are ready for a change,” Schroeder said in the news release. “This positive campaign will reassure our community that their voices have been heard, and that much needed change is just around the corner.”

In June, Schroeder said the recall grew out of concerns over the district’s COVID-19 mitigation plan, critical race theory and a decline in academic performance. She also said at the time that board members were not responsive to parents about their concerns, and that the board had abdicated its decision-making authority to Mequon-Thiensville School District Superintendent Matthew Joynt, citing the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for doing so
