The Parkland School Board approved, with reservation, the budgets for Lehigh Carbon Community College, Lehigh Career & Technical Institute and Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit 21.
The Parkland School Board on Tuesday approved the budgets for three educational institutions that depend on the district for part of their funding. The board voted 7-0 on the Lehigh Career & Technical Institute (LCTI) budget and 7-0 on the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit 21 (CLIU) budget. Board members Mark Hanichak and Barry Long were absent. The board voted differently, 5-2, on the budget for Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC). Board members Jef Reyburn and Lisa Adams cast the dissenting votes. Reyburn, the newest member of the board, said he felt “boxed in.” Parkland has its own budgetary concerns, he said, so it is difficult to justify the amount of money that it is expected to contribute to LCCC. Board member David Kennedy said …

Five of the Parkland School Board candidates are incumbents. One is a political newcomer.
Six candidates, including five incumbents, are vying for five positions on the Parkland School Board in the Nov. 8 election.
