Revere Local board elects Kasia Brackett as president and Jennifer Burke as vice president

The Revere Local School District Board of Education elected Kasia Brackett president and Jennifer Burke vice president during its Jan. 13 organizational meeting.

Kasia Brackett won the presidency by a 3-2 roll-call vote after board members nominated two candidates. An unnamed board member who nominated Brackett praised her "deep ties to the community" and experience "in the schools and with Bath Township," saying "I think she'd make an excellent president." The board then administered the oath so Brackett could chair the remainder of the meeting.

Jennifer Burke was elected vice president in a separate nomination and roll-call vote, also 3-2. A nominator said Burke "has experience on this board" and described her as "thorough and...diligent and detail oriented." The board conducted the customary oath for the vice president following the vote.

Why it matters: Leadership elections set who will run board meetings and represent the district in the coming year, including appointments to associations and committee liaison duties. The split votes underscore that the board's decisions were not unanimous.

What happened next: With Brackett presiding, the board proceeded through its organizational agenda and a work session that included routine approvals and a fiscal year 2027 budget vote.
