Conservative Temecula school board president officially loses recall vote

A conservative public school board president in Temecula whose promotion of policies on race and gender thrust the district into the national battle over critical race theory in the classroom and the rights of LGBTQ+ students narrowly lost a recall vote, officials announced Thursday. Joseph Komrosky, a Mt. San Antonio College philosophy professor, was elected to the board of the 28,000-student Temecula Valley Unified School District about 19 months ago.

'I want to thank my community for allowing me to represent your voices, and I look forward to serving my community again, beginning in November,' he said. Thursday's announced result was celebrated and lamented. 'We did it! We did it!' said Monica La Combe, a district resident for 21 years whose children graduated from high school in Temecula Valley. A son graduated this year, and another child, who is nonbinary, graduated in 2022.
