rdf:langString The 2022 San Francisco Board of Education recall elections (also called the San Francisco school board recall elections) were held on February 15, 2022. Voters had the option to remove each of three San Francisco Board of Education (School Board) Commissioners—Alison Collins, Gabriela Lopez, and Faauuga Moliga—from office. Lopez was president of the board at the time, while Collins and Moliga had served as vice president previously. All three commissioners were removed with landslide results, and were replaced by appointees chosen by mayor London Breed. The other members of the school board were not eligible for recall at this time. The recall election was the first in San Francisco since the failed recall election of then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein in 1983, the first successful recall since the ouster of State Senator Edwin Grant in 1914, and the first ever attempt to remove members of the School Board. Supporters of the recall accused the commissioners of incompetence, mismanagement of the school district, and misplaced priorities. Opponents contended that recalls were anti-democratic efforts backed by Republicans, billionaires, and charter school supporters. The election was part of a "recall fever" during the COVID-19 pandemic in California, which saw many recall petitions leading to elections that targeted elected officials throughout California, such as the successful recall of S.F. District Attorney Chesa Boudin and the failed recall of Governor Gavin Newsom. The recall election was held as part of the February 2022 San Francisco special election, concurrent with a special election to replace Assemblymember David Chiu, who was appointed to City Attorney of San Francisco.
