Broward County School Board member Lori Alhadeff, known for her focus on school safety since the 2018 Parkland shooting, announced she will not seek a third term. She has endorsed Sharry Kimmel, a Parkland educator, to succeed her. Kimmel, with extensive experience in education, aims to continue initiatives related to student safety and district fiscal management, according to WSVN.

She endorsed Kimmel, expressing confidence in her ability to continue and build on these efforts, WSVN reported.
Sharry Kimmel expressed gratitude for Alhadeff's endorsement, noting her commitment to students and the responsibilities of the role. Her campaign priorities include transparent decision-making and support for educators, as reported by Local 10.
Alhadeff, known for her advocacy and policy work on the school board, discussed her decision not to seek a third term and her support for Kimmel, emphasizing the continuation of initiatives focused on student safety and the welfare of the district’s children.
The election on August 18 will decide whether Kimmel can carry forward the initiatives and priorities established by Alhadeff, particularly in areas of student safety and educational policy.
