"We had six excellent candidates who are devoted to their community and we thank them for their interest in serving the District," Board of Trustees President Edralin "Ed" Maduli said. "We are pleased with the selection of Mr. Sbranti. As a lifelong public servant, he has extensive experience in education, government at the local, state and federal level, knowledge of our community, and he will be a great addition to our Board and the District."
