The Pennsylvania judge who ordered Tuesday to remove five elected school directors from the nine-member West Chester Area School board, reinstated them Friday. But the saga is not over; they could be booted again.

The five were removed on a technicality. There was a dispute over how much time the school had to respond to a petition filed by West Chester Area School District parent Beth Ann Rosica. In that petition, she calls for the removal of five school board members—Sue Tiernan, Joyce Chester, Karen Herman, Kate Shaw, and Daryl Durnell—for not representing constituents.
