District F School Board Race: 3 Candidates Vie for Seat
Description
In the race for Washoe County School Boards District F seat, three candidates—Scott Benton, Sheena Harvey, and Brooke Westlake—are vying for the position, with incumbent Adam Mayberry stepping down. All three emphasize mental health support, school safety, teacher retention, and budgeting amidst enrollment declines. Benton advocates for whole-child care and fiscal responsibility, Harvey for academic focus, transparency, and community engagement, and Westlake for addressing deficits and potential consolidations. They all point to board divisions and unclear roles as causes of superintendent turnover, calling for unity and better hiring. Safety measures they propose include more counselors, threat teams, secure doors, and drills. For academics, they prioritize evidence-based curriculums, early interventions, and teacher training. Primary voters will choose one candidate, with the top two advancing to the November election unless a candidate secures over fifty percent. With other board seats uncontested, District F will significantly influence the districts future.
