The Kutztown School Board voted 6-2 Monday night to appoint Christine Ryan to a vacant seat on the board.
Ryan is a resident of Lenhartsville and a music teacher in the Hamburg School District.
The vacancy was created when Jennie B. Clay, Albany Township, decided not to take the seat that she won in the November election.
The board interviewed Ryan prior to the vote and two other candidates at a meeting in December.
Also seeking the position were: Allison Stoudt, a former Berks County assistant district attorney, and Jennifer Schumaker, a registered nurse practitioner.
Board members Carl H. Ziegler and James Schrawder favored Schumaker, who received 320 write-in votes in the November election. Last month, the board received a 172-signature petition urging the appointment of Schumaker.
