Petitioners urged the state to review and recall the positions of Wilson, Edward Gamble, Sr., and Irene Paul 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]
72 percent voted in favor of Wilson'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 Wilson's misconduct include:[2]
- Hiring unqualified personnel in 2006-07
- Failing to implement an evaluation system for district teachers and administrators to evaluate performance
- Violating the open meetings act
- Failing to supervise the superintendent who misused district resources in 2006-07
- Violating school board policy when she requested the head teacher change her oldest daughter’s assignments in March 2007 before consulting the classroom teacher
In August 2005 the Juneau Empire quoted Wilson saying, ""I don't feel like I'm guilty of misconduct." [1]
