If the tax collector fails to complete the continuing education requirements, the tax collector shall be deemed ineligible to be placed on the ballot at the end of the tax collector’s term of office.”

Attendees from Carbon County included Kim Ginopolas, Kidder Township (Weatherly and Jim Thorpe School Districts); Deborah A. Kohler, Weatherly Borough (Weatherly School District); Pauline F. Homm, Mahoning Township (Lehighton School District); Sara J. Keiser, Franklin Township (Lehighton School District); and Mary E. Strohl, Lehighton Borough (Lehighton School District).
