Also - everyone is talking about Central Bucks’s school board- and rightly so- but Centennial SD’s board hired former CB super Abe Lucabaugh & another former CB admin- there, they flipped a seat & retained a Dem member to have a 5-4 majority there in January.
I had roughly 200 elections on my big board for Tuesday, and we have results in now for the vast majority.
