Kyung Hwa Kim of Norwood and Won Lee of Palisades Park will return to their posts after winning the April 16 election. However, Sang Ki Lee of Fort Lee lost his reelection bid.

The election had a low turnout, with less than 20 percent of voters participating. The Korean American turnout was also very low.

Sang Ki Lee garnered just over 400 write-in votes and fell behind three other candidates.

Won Lee ran unopposed. Kim also ran unopposed; and garnered over 400 votes to win another three-year term.

The Korean-American community in New Jersey now has five people serving on various school boards. They are: Jason Kim of Palisades Park, Suh Kyung Kim of Englewood Cliff and Carney Choi of Tenafly.
