Before the May elections this group seemed headed toward becoming the "new" School Board. They were thrashing about, opposing the Mayor but not offering alternatives.  The elections changed four of the seven members including one at-large. Now we have a career politician, three lawyers, a diplomat, a teacher and a beauty queen. Four are black and three are white so we'll get to see how our leadership handles race issues. Nagin's go-to guy, Eddie Sapir, was term limited so that dynamic also has to change. Nagin is making noises that Hedge-Morell might become his floor leader. Redistricting will probably become an issue before the next election.

Oliver Thomas was reelected in the primary (he's may run for Congress )
Arnie Fielkow replaces Eddie Sapir at large (Sapir was Nagin's go to guy so the dynamics are in flux)
District A - Lakeview/Carrollton (the west) - Shelly Midura replaces Jay Batt
District B - CBD to Audubon, Mid-City  - Stacey Head  replaced Rene Gill Pratt
District C - Algiers/French Quarter- James Carter replaced Jackie Clarkson
District D - Gentilly, Desire, Dillard, Bywater, UNO -Cynthia Hedge-Morell -  reelected from unpopulated district
District E -New Orleans East - Cynthia Willard-Lewis - reelected from unpopulated district
