MEQUON, Wis. (AP) — School board members who survived a recall effort that garnered national attention in a suburban Milwaukee district were looking ahead Wednesday to reuniting voters after a divisive campaign.

One of the four incumbents, Chris Schultz, said board members will need to “find ways to heal our community and heal from this process.” “
