[news]

Aside from a new face, the Cranbury school board will look much as it did last year.

On Tuesday, the board unanimously re-elected President Joan Rue and Vice President Elizabeth Silverman after swearing in new board member Wendi Patella and incumbents Joan Weidner and Julie Hardaker.

After being re-elected to her position, Ms. Rue thanked the board and said she's excited about the coming year.

"It's an easy job for me to take on because I do have all of your help," she said.

Ms. Weidner, Ms. Patella and Ms. Hardaker ran unopposed for three, three-year seats on the board earlier this month. One of the seats was left vacant by Adam Hawes, who decided not to seek re-election.

Voters on April 17 also approved a $16.7 million school budget by a 2-to-1 ratio.
