Incumbent School Board Member Torey Alston further commented, “This is a non-partisan race and my focus will remain on the children.  How we make Broward Schools an A district is not partisan and how we increase proficiency is not partisan.  As a School Board Member, I will continue to bring common sense solutions to the district and engage all communities.”
