In MSDLT school board races in the City of Lawrence, Jessica Dunn was elected as an at-large member in her race against Reginald McGregor, Jennifer Tursi and Morgan Bailey.
“First and foremost, I’m looking forward to serving the teachers, students and parents of our school district. It’s been a dream of mine for several years,” Dunn said. “The most important thing moving forward is that we continue to identify the reasons why we have a churning of educators in and out of our schools. We want our schools to be great, so we have to recruit and retain great people. I look forward to helping the district do just that.”
The race for the MSDLT School Board District 2 seat was too close to call as of press time. Marta Lawrence had a 0.61 percent lead over Janet Jacobs.
