Voters in Medford Township went to the polls on Nov. 5 and elected members for the school board of education and voted on a school tax referendum.

The Burlington County Clerk’s Office has posted results from the election on its website, all of which are unofficial until a vote-counting process that could take more than a week is complete.

Vote totals do not include late mail-in and provisional ballots; they are expected to be tallied at a later date.

Medford Township Board of Education

Four candidates vied for the three, three-year board of education seats. As of Nov. 6, incumbent Peyton Ebbeson has received the most votes with 7,940 followed by incumbent Kenyette Jones with 7,347 votes and newcomer Alexa Folsom has received 6,658 votes.

Candidate Dawn Cappello received 5,261 votes. There are 314 personal choice votes.

Tax referendum

The school district was seeking voter approval of its Healthy Minds, Safe Schools initiative with a ballot question, which would bring in 32 full-time positions.

For an average assessed home of $330,888.84, approval would cost taxpayers $716 the first year. That’s $380 for the new staffing positions, plus a one-time tax of $46 for the security and communication system upgrades. From the second year forward, taxes would maintain the average $380 increase.

As of Nov. 6, the referendum has received 7,063 “no” votes and 6,375 “yes” votes.
