LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — The school board voted 5 to 3 Thursday evening, approving Dr. Jon Pollard for the position. Two members of the school board abstained. Dr. Pollard was previously the principal of an elementary school in the district and was the principal of the Secondary Center in Exeter for the last five years.
He was sworn in following the vote at the magistrate's office in West Pittston. Pollard will replace longtime superintendent Janet Serino, who is retiring in June.
