Votes continue to be counted for Newberg school board recall election
Votes continued to be tallied Wednesday in the recall election of two Newberg school board members. So far, the votes are split down the middle with a slight edge to the recall failing.
Both Chairman Dave Brown and Vice Chair Brian Shannon are likely to keep their positions on the board, but the vote will not be finalized for a couple of weeks.
More than 25,000 people were eligible to vote in this election, most of them in Yamhill County, and some voters in Clackamas and Washington counties.
Those behind the recall effort of Board Chair Dave Brown and Vice Chair Brian Shannon say the men brought drama and division to the community, including a controversial ban on what they consider to be political displays, like black lives matter signs, pride flags and the firing of the Newberg's superintendent.

Results from Oregoncatalyst.com which is a conservative site. I did not use the article they posted because it included phrases such as "Like many school districts, Newberg suffered from liberal activists who pushed politics at the expense of academic learning."
