Two GESD board members face recall in November

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) - Two board members with the Gadsden Elementary School District are facing recalls this November.

Gadsden Elementary School District board members Liliana Arroyo and Luis Marquez are facing a recall.

Arroyo and Marquez say the accusations against them are false.

"There is a recall because they say I don't know how to communicate with the community, that I have a barrier with the community because of my English," said Arroyo.

"Because I mistreat the teacher, parents and children. Because I'm arrogant and because I abuse my power," said Marquez.

Yuma County voters are starting to receive their ballot by mail on Wednesday.

Both Gadsden Elementary School board members are asking the community to make their voices heard this upcoming election.

"It's very important to fill out the ballots, it's very easy. It takes one minute to fill it out and send them back by mail or take them to the box at the library. It’s important because your vote counts," said Marquez.

"Your vote is free, every voter has the right to vote freely for who they considered is the best option," said Arroyo.

The recall election is on Tuesday, November 4.
