The Yorktown Central School District Board of Education completed its annual organizational actions on July 1, electing Lisa Rolle as board president and Reshmi Bose as vice president and administering oaths of office to re‑elected trustees.

The board approved appointments for 2025–26 including Evette Siegel as district clerk, Alicia Sigvartsson as district treasurer, Denise Zapata as deputy district treasurer and Steve Robbins as claims auditor; the board also approved multiple routine authorizations, designations and the supplemental defense and indemnification resolution.

Trustees confirmed standing committee assignments for the year: Reshmi Bose will chair the audit committee (with John Gridley as the external community member); Peter, Mike and Jackie (outgoing president) will serve on audit/fiscal as discussed to ensure quorum flexibility; Mike and Jackie will continue on the facilities committee (meets every other Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.); Cheryl will remain chair of the policy committee; Catalina will chair the educational‑vision committee with a flexible meeting cadence. Trustees discussed meeting times and agreed to leave several committee schedules unchanged because of outside participant constraints.

Why it matters: leadership elections and committee assignments determine who sets agendas, chairs reviews and represents the board on finance, audit, policy and facilities matters for the coming year.

Actions taken: trustees voted to approve the oaths of office, the slate of district appointments, authorizations and committee assignments; several motions were approved by recorded “Aye” votes.

Quotes: After her election, Lisa Rolle took the chair and trustees thanked outgoing president Jackie for long service: “Thank you for 18 years as 19 years on the board, 18 years as president,” a trustee said during the meeting. Trustee Peter praised Jackie’s service in board comments: “You've carried yourself with grace, integrity, professionalism for a very, very long time.”

Ending: With leadership in place, trustees moved into routine business items including policy votes, contracts and personnel actions.
