Judge Bernard Nachman has granted a request from School Board chairwoman Betty Burney to remove Vivian Wright’s name from the August 26th primary ballot. Burney had challenged Wright’s residency qualifications to run for the District 5 seat, and Wright refused to go through discovery to determine is she was in fact entitled to challenge Burney’s re-election.
Three other seats are scheduled to be decided next month, including open contests in Districts 1 and 3. School Board member and former Mayor Tommy Hazouri is also seeking re-election in District 7.
