Donna Westrich, a teacher in Jacksonville for more than 20 years, is one of three candidates running for the District 2 seat for the Duval County School Board in the August primary. The current School Board member, April Carney, decided not run for reelection and is supporting one of Westrich’s opponents. We asked the longtime educator about her top priorities, including empowering teachers, supporting schools for all families and accountability in spending.
