The Baltimore Teachers Union has a new president. Booker T. Washington Middle School teacher Diamonte' Brown has defeated incumbent Marietta English.
The vote count was 901 to 893. Brown promises more support for educators, a union that's accountable to members and a focus on racial equity. English, who was seeking a 9th term, plans to challenge the results. She says there were violations of the election process throughout the campaign and she cannot concede the election.
