Burlington Area School District School Board challengers Philip Ketterhagen and Roger Koldeway claimed the top two spots and incumbents Susan Kessler and John Anderson also advanced in Tuesday’s primary election.
Falling out of contention were Scott Elbein and Megan Shuemate.
With all precincts reported the unofficial standings are:
Philip Ketterhagen 1,520 votes
Roger Koldeway 1,444
Susan Kessler (I) 1,211
John Anderson (I) 1,201
Scott Elbein 300
Megan Shuemate 130
The top four finishers advance to the April 3 election for the two available seats on the School Board.
See Thursday’s Burlington Standard Press for a complete story, including candidate comments.
Our district needs to have people on the school board that can make tough but fair decisions. I hope that our community sees that Kessler and Anderson have the experience needed to make these decisions and should continue to serve on the board.
Thank you to Kessler and Anderson for helping make tough decisions to help our schools maintain a great education for our youth!
