Inside The Non-Partisan School Board Race in District One: Brett Jensen Breaks Down What This Means for the Candidates

Tune in here to this Friday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by talking about Bill Fountain, who is running for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board in District One. Jensen begins by giving an overview of the School Board in District One, which is currently held by Melissa Easley. Easley is predominantly Liberal, as is another candidate, Charlitta Hatch, who used to work for the City of Charlotte. The School Board election in District One is non-partisan, meaning that all three candidates will be on the ballot together.

Jensen also shares a clip from Reporter David Hodges of WBTV talking about the turnover of employees in the Town of Mooresville. Hodges reports that residents are concerned about the departure of dozens of top-level staff members in all of the town’s departments, as well as over 100 more employees. It’s an informative segment that explores the specific areas of concern that residents are expressing to town leaders.
