Sanders school recall targets Sanders Unified Board President Carl Hillis
In Sanders Arizona voters move to recall Carl Hillis, president of the Sanders Unified School District Board, charging abuse of authority and violations of state law and procedures. The recall petition cites Hillis threatening to remove administrators and teachers, while the board also moved to consider charges against Superintendent Dale Newton and to hire an associate superintendent, with agenda changes reportedly made without Newton’s knowledge. The dispute follows a contentious board meeting and Marjorie Dick of Sanders says education quality remains a central concern.
