Substitute teacher Eddie Lee Brewster, retired teacher Anne Wofford McKenzie and concerned citizen Dave Walker are running for seats on the Atlanta Board of Education, meaning there are now 20 candidates seeking nine seats up for election in November.
Brewster wants to give teachers more resources, and McKenzie supports more career paths for students who aren’t planning to attend college. They’ll compete against each other, business lawyer Jason Esteves and retired technology professional Mary Louise Palmer for the at-large District 9 seat.
Walker, who would emphasize reading and math learning, will face investment management professional Reuben McDaniel, attorney Cynthia Briscoe Brown, real estate development company founder Mark Riley and attorney Tom Tidwell for the at-large District 8 seat.
