Democrats Gain Control Of Bensalem School Board [View all]

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — The Democrats have gained control of the Bensalem Township School Board after winning seats in Tuesday's general election.

According to unofficial results, longtime Republican School Director Marc Cohen lost his re-election bid as four Democrats won school board seats. The wins will give the party an 8-1 school board majority when the board reorganizes next month.

Former School Director Rachel Fingles was among the Democratic winners on Tuesday. Meanwhile, 23-year-old Rodger Allen will also be joining the board.

The school board race has focused on debate over a new middle school. The school board recently held off a vote to allow the new school board to make that decision.
