The Howell school board, in Livingston County, is suffering through a sixth resignation in two years and several of the board members are facing a recall campaign.
The Detroit News reports that Phil Westmoreland, the immediate past president of the board, has tendered his resignation, effective immediately. No reason was given for Westmoreland’s resignation, but he was president during the unpopular ouster of the district’s superintendent, Ted Gardella.
The school board has 30 days to appoint Westmoreland’s replacement.

If approved tomorrow, McCormick and her supporters will have until July 31 to collect the needed 5,000 signatures to put the recall on the November ballot.
