BOURNE — With the first 250 signatures behind them, those who are trying to recall Bourne School Committee member Kari D. MacRae will now be looking for six times that number.

The first step in recalling MacRae has proceeded to the point at which enough affidavit signatures were filed last week with Town Clerk Barry Johnson’s office to move the recall process forward.

During a meeting that filled the high school auditorium, Bourne educators and some parents of students last October pressed MacRae to resign from the school board due to posts on her TikTok account relating to gender identity issues and critical race theory.

MacRae refused to resign and proceeded to launch a state Senate campaign to unseat Sen. Susan Moran, D-Falmouth, in the Plymouth-Barnstable District. MacRae vows to remain on the Bourne school board if elected to Beacon Hill.

The next procedural step after certification of the 250 signatures filed Wednesday for the recall is for Johnson within 10 days to notify selectmen and MacRae about the affidavit. Then he must issue a blank petition for collection of at least 1,486 signatures of registered voters, which must be certified to continue the recall effort.
