David Hewitt was elected president of the Pinelands Regional Board of Education at its reorganization meeting Jan. 7, a day later than originally planned owing to a snow day on Jan. 6.

There were three nominations for board president, with August Daleo, who represents Little Egg Harbor, being nominated first, followed by Lisa Betty of Eagleswood and Hewitt, who represents Tuckerton. According to district policy, a roll call vote for each candidate would be taken in the order of nomination.
