Residents of Palmerton Area School District, We have an election coming up that is very important. There are two dedicated board members running for reelection, Earl and Danielle Paules.

These two board members have used their time on the board to help make this district better while still being accountable to the taxpayer They spent their free time to help build a PTO stand for the town festival. They also got businesses to fund the project and also donated materials themselves.

Their effort as far as the parking lot at SS Palmer helped save us taxpayers money. Their common sense approach to school projects and issues can be seen if you ever attended a school board meeting. Keeping the taxpayer in mind, they look at all sides as to what is best for our students, teachers and staff.

They do not take the easy way out and just go along with the flow if they feel it is wrong for everybody concerned. School boards are not made up by a popularity contest. They are made up by people you trust to do the job. They deserve your vote.
