PTA Leader Named to Yorktown School Board

A longtime Yorktown PTA leader was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Yorktown Board of Education.

The board named Cheryl Reynolds to take over the seat that Trustee Peter Bisaccia held until he resigned last month, citing work conflicts.

Reynolds is president of the Yorktown High School PTA, president-elect at the Mildred E. Strang Middle School and was previously president at Crompond Elementary School.

She is the mother of three students in the fifth, seventh and 11th grades and has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a master’s in business administration with a concentration in marketing.

The term Reynold’s will serve runs through June. A three-year position will then be filled through an election.

Reynolds said she would like to be a part of the current board and administration as it moves the district forward.

“My focus is multidimensional and I am interested in the success of all students int he district,” she said.

Reynold said she anticipates running for election in May.
