Northern Lehigh School Board hopes to have a full slate of directors in place by next month.

Board President Mathias Green said at last week’s school board meeting there were four directors who were on the ballot during last week’s General Election who were elected to four-year seats.

However, Green noted that the board also had a 2-year seat, but no one in the district applied for it so there was no one on the ballot for the 2-year term on the board.

“As a result of that, it will be a write-in scenario,” Green said. “You don’t need 100 votes or even 10 votes, the highest vote-getter wins that seat.”

Green explained that he’s personally called Voter Registration several times, and that Superintendent Dr. Matthew J. Link called them, “but they did not get back to me, so I don’t know what the results of that are.

“There is a possibility that whoever wins that seat may or may not decide to accept the position,” he said. “If they do not, it’s my understanding that the second-place person doesn’t automatically get that position, it then becomes an empty seat, and it will be up to the board to appoint someone to fill that seat.”

Green noted there is a possibility the board will be appointing someone at the December meeting.

“If we get more information from them, and it’s obviously up to the person to decide, there may be an opening,” he said, adding that anyone interested, or anyone else they know is interested, to be prepared to respond. “If it is the case and we do appoint personally someone at the December meeting, I’d like to get that person in, get their feet on the ground and get them moving,”

School board candidates Angela Williams, Gary Fedorcha, and Crystal Bilby and Timothy Weaber ran unopposed to win four-year seats in this month’s General Election.

Williams, Fedorcha, and Bilby, all Republicans, cross-filed and appeared on both ballots.

In Lehigh County, newcomer Timothy Weaber, a Republican, garnered 1,808 votes, followed by incumbent Williams (1,704), incumbent Fedorcha (1,514), and newcomer Bilby (1,464).

In Northampton County, Weaber again topped the field with 244 votes, followed by Williams (239), Fedorcha (237) and Bilby (226). There were seven write-in votes.
