Out of the three incumbents whose term expired at the end of 2020, Trustee Jose Ruben Mendoza was the only one who applied to continue serving on the board.
Now former Trustees Damarys Gonzalez and Maite Fernandez opted not to seek the appointment.
Instead, Mendoza was joined by Ismail Dalia and Beatriz Amaro, the latter who is the district testing coordinator at the Hudson County Schools of Technology.
Sources with knowledge of the situation said that they were the only three people who applied to be selected for the vacant, volunteer positions.
