Andy Yenser, Wayne Wentz and write-in Duane Eidem have the necessary experience and knowledge to make them the right choice to serve on the board of directors for the Lehighton Area School District.

At this time with all the construction activities, changes with curriculum, teacher evaluations and budget constraints, it is absolutely critical for candidates to have this experience.Now is not the time for "on the job" training for new board members, especially those candidates who have never served or even attended any meetings to find out how the board functions and what issues the district is facing right now.These candidates are all lifelong members of this community and can responsibly balance the interests of our students and taxpayers. Their ability to work with other directors in a respectful way while using a common-sense approach, will ensure that things get done. Informed decisions are what we should expect, and these three candidates share these qualities and knowledge to oversee school district activities.Yenser, Wentz and Eidem care about education, kids and our community. Please get out and vote for and make the RIGHT CHOICE for these three candidates to ensure that Lehighton can move forward in an intelligent and fiscally responsible direction.Dave KrauseLehighton
