FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Broward’s newest School Board members wasted no time showing changes were coming, as they selected one of their own as the new chairman.
Torey Alston — one of five members recently appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (one in May and four last week) — was elected as the new chairman 5-4. The four longer-serving board members wanted Lori Alhadeff to hold that role. She was elected vice chair.
Alston, who recently stepped down as county commissioner, is a former student representative on the School Board.
