New Member Elected To Moorestown School Board: Unofficial Results

MOORESTOWN, NJ — With 19 out of 20 precincts reporting late Tuesday night, one new member was expected to be elected to the Moorestown Board of Education after elections Tuesday night, according to the county clerk.

A cartridge malfunction prevented the fully tally of all votes cast Tuesday night, according to the Burlington County Clerk's Office. The votes associated with that cartridge were being counted, but full results still had not been posted as of 8 p.m. Wednesday night. After full results are posted, provisional and mail-in-ballots will be counted. Results will remain unofficial until certified by the county clerk.

Board President Sandra Alberti and Board Member Mark Villanueva, as well as challenger Mark Snyder, were expected to win three open seats on the Moorestown Public School District's Board of Education, according to unofficial results posted on the Burlington County Clerk's website. Maurice Weeks was also running for re-election.

Katherine Mullin also ran unopposed in a special election for an unexpired term.

Results can be seen below, as of 11:05 p.m. on Nov. 5. They remain unofficial until certified by the county clerk. Return to Patch for results as they come in. Subscribe to free News Alerts for election results.

There were 10,120 votes cast in the regular elections, and 3,302 in the special election. There were 58 write-in votes in the regular election, and 18 write-in votes in the special election.

Alberti and Weeks were first elected in 2016. In 2017, Alberti was nominated board president after Kathy Goldenberg was appointed to the State Board of Education. Villanueva was appointed the same night, and elected to fill the remainder of the seat later that year.

Snyder has a background in instructional design, educational assessment and social science research, according to his campaign website. He coaches his daughter's flag football team and says he is "fundamentally a teacher at heart."

Mullin was appointed to the board in May to fill the remainder of an unexpired one-year term.

School improvements look to be a big issue for the newly elected school board members. The Moorestown Public School District had originally scheduled a referendum on $25 million worth of school improvements on Tuesday, but that referendum will now take place Dec. 10.
