All three incumbents in the Penn-Trafford school board race earned new terms on Tuesday, and the current warden of the Westmoreland County Prison will join them after earning a school board seat in the district’s Region II.

In Region I, incumbent Republican Martin Stovar took nearly 83% of the vote.

In Region II, incumbent Republican Richard Niemiec and fellow Republican Bryan Kline received 1,162 and 1,163 votes, respectively.

In Region III, incumbent Republican Toni Ising took just over 73% of the vote.

Kline and the incumbents beat out write-in candidates Danielle Lang (Region I), Malissa Chaplick (Region II) and Anthony Zona (Region III). However, until certified results are tabulated, their exact totals are not known.

Lang, Chaplick and Zona all ran as write-in candidates, getting into the race after the current school year began.
