Democrats Win 4 Abington School Board Seats
Democratic school board incumbents were re-elected Tuesday for the Abington School Board, according to unofficial results.
ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — Democrats won four seats on the Abington School Board in Tuesday's general election, holding off a challenge from three Republican candidates, according to unofficial results.
Abington school board candidates debated the impact that a new middle school would have. In the May primary election, voters approved building a new $285 million middle school by a narrow 500-vote margin among 17,000 residents who went to the polls.
All of the township's 39 precincts reported their vote tallies from Tuesday's election.
