Lori Alhadeff says she won’t seek reelection on Broward School Board

Lori Alhadeff, who first won a seat on the Broward School Board in 2018 after her daughter was killed in the Parkland school shooting, has announced she will not seek a third term in office.

She is endorsing longtime educator and fellow Parkland resident Sharry Kimmel to replace her for the District 4 seat, which includes Parkland, Coral Springs, Tamarac and North Lauderdale.

Alhadeff told the South Florida Sun Sentinel she plans to devote more time to “Make Our Schools Safe,” a nonprofit she and her husband, Ilan, founded after their 14-year-old daughter, Alyssa, died in the shooting on Feb. 14, 2018.

“Eight years is a meaningful chapter, long enough to lead, make an impact, and know when it is time to step forward in a new way,” Alhadeff said. “This moment calls for my full commitment to Make Our Schools Safe and to advancing school safety nationally, expanding impact, driving change and protecting students across the country.”
