Retiring Gwinnett County school board member Mary Kay Murphy backed Yanin Cortes on Monday in the crowded race to succeed her in this year’s elections.
Cortes is one of six candidates who have either announced or filed preliminary paperwork to run for Murphy’s District 3 school board seat. Murphy, who has served on the board for 28 years, recently announced her own plans to retire at the end of her current term in December rather than seek re-election.
