Congratulations to District 7 School Board Member
Tommy Hazouri, who was re-elected for another four-year term. Hazouri, who currently serves as the board’s vice chairman, was first elected in November 2004, after serving for 12 years as a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 1974-1986, and as Mayor of the City of Jacksonville from 1987 until 1991.
Two other school board positions – for Districts 1 and 3, currently served by Kris Barnes and Martha Barrett, respectively – were also on the August 26 ballot. Because no candidate earned more than 50 percent of the vote, there will be a runoff election on November 4.
Stan Jordan will face Ken Manuel in a runoff election for the District 1 seat, while W.C. Gentry and Jack Daniels are vying for District 3.
