Four Duval County School Board races were on the ballot for Tuesday’s primary election.

Four of seven seats on the Duval County School Board are up for election this year. These are nonpartisan races that will appear on the August primary ballot. In District 3, school board member Cindy Pearson is seeking re-election, facing Rebecca Nathanson. This race will appear on the ballots of all voters in the district, regardless of party affiliation.

Jacksonville Today reader Henry T. received a political mailer that caught his eye in late June. In Henry’s eyes, its message against District 3 Duval County School Board incumbent Cindy Pearson was “over-the-top scaremongering.” A second anti-Pearson card soon followed. Henry wrote to us, asking for info on who sent the mailers, which is listed on them as a political action committee called Educated Professionals for Jacksonville.

Nearly every seat was filled at the Jacksonville Public Education Fund (JPEF) candidate forum with hopes of hearing from the two women running in the District 3 election for the Duval County school board.

The Duval County School Board will look much different after the Aug. 20 election, but there’s potential that one seat stays the same.
