Few Changes In School Board Seats
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Incumbents who chose to run again succeeded in keeping their seats on the Toms River Board of Education. The school board has nine total seats.

This year, there was a single Toms River spot, and the ones for Beachwood and Pine Beach on the ballot. For the Toms River seat, i ncu mbent Kathleen Eagan was challenged by Daynne Glover.
