Running in the election are Sharry Adler Kimmel, who received Aldaheff\u2019s endorsement, and Nicole Morst, who is endorsed by School Board Member Debbi Hixon. <\/p>\n
District 4 includes Coral Springs, Margate, North Lauderdale, Parkland and Tamarac.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a champion of teachers,\u201d said Kimmel. \u201cI teach teachers how to be teachers, and I am a subject matter expert with a doctorate degree in education on all things K-12. I have budget experience, I have teaching experience, classroom experience, and I also have a lot of leadership experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Said Morst: \u201cI have been advocating for teachers and families in this district for the last nine years. I served as the North Area Advisory Chair this year, which represents nearly 70 schools in the north region of Broward County. I worked with the principals, the teachers, the parents to make sure that their concerns were heard and their needs are met.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both candidates discussed their approaches to tackling the district\u2019s declining student enrollment and severe budget challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we expect families to keep sending their kids to Broward schools, we have to invest in their facilities,\u201d said Morst. \u201cWe have schools that have mold and broken ACs. And these conditions are not acceptable for our parents.\u201d<\/p>\n
Added Kimmel: \u201cThe first priority is to get the fiscal house in order. We have to monetize our assets. We have assets and we have to monetize those as if it was an emergency because it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both candidates also addressed school safety and improvements.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo part of my platform, once we monetize our assets, is to have bulletproof glass in every one of those panels at every single school,\u201d said Kimmel. \u201cSo if worst thing happens, worst case scenario and an active shooter makes their way somehow through all the other safety nets onto the campus, they can never do that again. They can never shoot through that glass.\u201d<\/p>\n
Said Morst: \u201cI am the only one with a child that is currently enrolled and so I am in it every day. I know the challenges, I know what\u2019s working and what needs to be fixed. And I understand the communities because I have been serving all over Broward. So I understand outside of just what\u2019s in my school in my community, what\u2019s happening at large.\u201d<\/p>\n
