Concord School Board Shake-Up | Concord News

Brenda Hastings is back for a third term on the Concord school board after reversing her decision to step down, citing urgent debates over AI, screen time, and class sizes as reasons to stay. With the election filing period closed, five candidates now battle for three seats: incumbents Hastings (Zone C) and Elizabeth Boucher (Zone B), plus newcomers Don Brueggerman (Zone B), Dr. Aaron Thompson (Zone C), and Jaclyn Figueria (Zone A). Thompson, who faced ballot issues last year, returns with renewed focus on education and parenting experience. Brueggerman, a longtime resident and former business owner, pledges greater transparency. Boucher brings her dual expertise as dietitian and parent. Figueria, the sole candidate in Zone A, offers an engineering and business leadership perspective focused on fiscal responsibility—all united by a shared goal: better schools and stronger community engagement.
