FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — As Broward County’s newest School Board members were sworn into office Tuesday, they wasted no time showing that major changes would be coming.
The first action of the Republican majority board: electing one of their own as chairman.
Torey Alston — one of five members recently appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (one in May and four last week) — accepted the leadership role after the longer-serving board members lost a 5-4 vote to elect Lori Alhadeff for that role. She was elected vice chair.
