After two unsuccessful runs for a seat on the Barnegat Township Board of Education, George Fedorczyk Jr. is finally a member of the nine-member group as he was appointed to the board last month.

He replaces Lauren Sarno, a former board president and vice president who had served a total of 11 years. Sarno announced her resignation last month as she is moving out of town. The resignation came too late to appoint a replacement for her on the November election ballot.
