Former porn star seeking Fla. school board seat

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A former porn star is looking for a new role as a school board member.
 
David Mech of Boca Raton has qualified for the Palm Beach County School Board's District 3 seat.
 
The 38-year-old was known as Dave Pounder while a performer in adult films. He began a math tutoring business a few years ago.
 
Along with another candidate, John Michael Hartman, Mech is challenging incumbent board member Karen Brill.
 
The Palm Beach Post reports that Brill made headlines earlier this year with a short-lived proposal to enforce a dress code for parents on school property.
