(KMZA)--Patrons of Nemaha Central USD 115 will decide in a special election Tuesday whether to recall Board of Education member Owen Zinke.
District patrons concerned about the board’s stance on mandatory mask requirements for students and teachers in the 2020-2021 school year circulated a petition asking for the recall election.
Zinke, of Seneca, represents Position 7, the “at large” position on the school board and all registered voters in the district can cast a ballot.
Every precinct will vote at the Community Building in Seneca. Ballots can be cast from 7 am to 7 pm.
A “Yes” vote is to recall Zinke, a “No” vote retains his position on the school board.
Zinke, who’s term expires 2023, has represented Position 7 since USD 115 was established in 2011, and was previously a member of the board of USD 442. He currently serves as board vice-president.
A similar effort to recall board member Amy Sudbeck was rejected by voters in the November general election.
