Three Candidates Compete for Duval County School Board District 2 Seat
The contest will decide who guides the district through budget shortfalls that could force school consolidations after a levy renewal vote.
Overview
- Donovan Bradley, Terence Myers and Donna Westrich have declared campaigns for the open District 2 seat and each has laid out distinct priorities for the board.
- Bradley emphasizes workforce and career-technical education, testing changes, and more support for teachers and school resource officers.
- Myers, with nearly two decades in education, focuses on directing more resources to students with disabilities and strengthening supports for teachers.
- Westrich, a career classroom teacher of about 20 years, says she will push for stronger community representation and school-level voice in district decisions.
- All three candidates stress transparency and community involvement before any school consolidations, and the race will move forward alongside contested August primaries and a November 1-mill levy renewal that will affect district funding.
