Wolf Schneider, Neil Hudes, David Kanaby, Chris Pulsifer
and John Lisowski Jr. elected to board seats
An unusually large voter turn-out helped defeat the proposed school budget by a 1526-1180 margin.
Voters also turned out three-term incumbent board member and former school board president Blair Meiser, electing Wolf Schneider, Neil Hudes, David Kanaby for the three, three-year terms. Chris Pulsifer earned a one-year term, and John Lisowski Jr. captured the two-year term.
