New members sworn in to Burlington School Board

December 01, 2023

Newly elected and re-elected members of the Burlington School Board were sworn into office Monday, Nov. 28, during the first meeting of their four-year term.

Newcomers Tammy Anderson and William Vance join incumbents Anika McVay and Deborah Hatteberg as they start the term for which they were elected.

Anderson and Vance take the seats that until Nov. 28 were held by board members Joel Sieren and Nancy Hoelzen, both of whom opted not to seek re-election.

The newly seated board elected Darven Kendell as board president, a position previously held by Hatteberg, and Anika McVay as vice president, a role previously held by Kendell.

The seats held by Kendell, Christi Burghoffer and Bryan Bross will be up for election in 2025.
