RAYMOND, Wisc. — Results are in for a special recall election to potentially replace two school board members in Raymond.
Michael Pauers will replace Gwen Keller on the board. Efforts to recall Janell Wise failed.
This special election comes at a time when there have been a lot of changes with district leaders.
In just the last few months, the principal's contract was not renewed and the superintendent stepped down.
Voters say they had a lot of unanswered questions going into the recall election.
They want to see people on the board who can bring in new perspectives. Overall, they're hoping the election will make up for a lack of transparency from the board.
"They have been spending money like crazy on lawyers and we have spent money on two principals and two superintendents," said community member Deb Mikolajczyk. "I do not know what the secrecy is, I don't. It's a school board."
More than 2,000 people were eligible to participate in the recall election.
Polls were open until 8:00 p.m.
