Tracie West BOE

State BOE incumbent and District 2 candidate shares her priorities for special education in Alabama

It’s important to me to know what each of my districts look like in terms of what children they’re serving. We may have some districts that only have a few children with special needs and or we may have others that have greater, more catastrophic needs.

State Board of Education candidate Tracie West joins guest anchor and parent Brittany Alexander and AC anchor Alex Bimes to discuss her commitment to public education, her time on the Alabama BOE, the importance of being available to her constituents, and her priorities for special education.
