Incumbent Easton Area School Board members Millie Mandarino and Jodi Hess failed to retain their seats in Tuesday's primary, while incumbent Kerri Leonard-Ellison won a Democratic nomination, according to unofficial results.
Mandarino and Hess sought nominations for two of the three available Region 1 seats, each with a four-year term. But unofficial results show Bob Arnts, William Rider and Robert Fehnel winning nominations from both parties for the November ballot.
Meanwhile, it was the race for the four-year seat in Region 3 that came down to the wire.
