Jacob spoke with Patch about his upcoming three-year term. He said the board will work hard to implement Project Parkway over the next term. He also looks forward to working with the new superintendent, Keith Marty.

Jacob said the school board secretary will swear him in for his next term on April 13.

Newcomer Patricia Adair received 7,034 votes, or 22.29 percent of the vote, but that defeat hasn’t deterred her from staying active in the district.
