Two-term incumbent Philip Ketterhagen was returned to the Burlington Area School District Board of Education Tuesday as the top vote-getter in a four-candidate race for two open seats, according to unofficial results.
Ketterhagen will be joined on the board by Taylor Wishau, who served a single term several years ago.
The two, who ran on a similar platform of fiscal conservatism, garnered 2,336 and 1,991 votes, respectively.
They prevailed over newcomers Eileen Mirsberger (1,866 votes) and Laura Freeburn, who launched a write-in campaign in February. The exact vote total for Freeburn was unavailable Tuesday night, but it appeared to be in the range of 800 votes.
Here’s a look at some of the other races in the area (all vote totals are unofficial):
City of Burlington
