A group of Fairfax County parents announced at a press conference July 19 that enough signatures have been gathered to recall a Fairfax County School Board member. 

The FCPS Accountability Coalition collected more than 5,000 signatures to recall Elaine Tholen, the school board member representing the Dranesville District. Only 3,600 verified signatures were needed to proceed. The signatures were presented to a Fairfax County judge June 19. The judge will verify the authenticity of all the signatures and then decide whether to hold a special election to replace Tholen.
