Petitioners urged the state to review and recall the positions of Shelly Wilson, Irene Paul and Gramble for what they called "misconduct in office, incompetence, and failure to perform prescribed duties." In June 2007 after months of testimony a petition was submitted for the recall of all three officials. Documents revealed hiring of unqualified personnel and the violation of the state open meetings act on six occasions.[1]
74 percent voted in favor of Gramble's recall in the 2007 REAA 18 Section I Chatham Recall on November 20, 2007.
Basis for recall
According to the Attorney General, some examples of Gamble's misconduct include:[2]
- Hiring personnel for 2006-07 who were unqualified as school administrators
- Failing to implement an evaluation system for district teachers and administrators to evaluate performance
- Violating the open meetings act by attending approximately 4 illegal executive sessions
- Failing to adequately supervise the superintendent who misused district resources
