Tim Kinkead was happy with the election returns Tuesday, in which he captured 71 percent of island votes with a 1,734-vote lead over his opponent, Renard Burnett.

The District 4 School Board Director, who was enjoying a casual evening at home when he got the news, said he is excited to volunteer for another term.

“I look forward to continuing to strive to improve conditions that result in improved student outcomes,” Kinkead said.

Kinkead was first appointed to the director position in 2010 before being elected the following year.

Burnett could not be immediately reached for comment.
