At its Dec. 21 action meeting, the Cherry Hill Board of Education will appointCarol Matlack, a Cherry Hill resident since 1988, to fill the vacancy created earlier this year by the resignation of former Board member Lynette Howard.
Matlack’s appointment will continue until the board’s reorganization meeting following the next school board election in April, according to a school district press release.
“We look forward to welcoming Mrs. Matlack to the board table and working with her in the coming months,” Board President Seth Klukoff said. “As a regular attendee of board meetings and an active volunteer in the district, she will be well positioned to hit the ground running as we begin deliberations about the 2011–2012 budget and interviews for the new district superintendent.”
Matlack is currently the vice president of Cherry Hill Zone PTA, treasurer of the Cherry Hill High School West PTA, and the Camden County PTA Bylaws and Procedures chair. She served for four years as the West PTA president and has also been a participant on district committees and focus groups. She is also a volunteer in her church, The Catholic Community of Christ Our Light, and coordinates the church’s religious education home study program.
