Judge dismisses petition to recall entire Seattle School Board

A King County Superior Court judge on Monday dismissed a petition filed by parents to recall the entire Seattle School Board for failing to plan adequately for students to return to in-person classes.

Judge Mafe Rajul dismissed the case after hearing from three petitioners and an attorney representing the school board on Friday. Rajul ruled that while she was “understanding and sympathetic” to parents’ concerns, the court was “limited in its role as a gatekeeper.”
