School Board Candidate Q&A: Cheryl Rickert - Council Rock School District
Cheryl Rickert is a Democrat running in Council Rock School Board Region 8.
Why do you think you are qualified to effectively represent your community on the school board?
As a marketing manager and mom of two young children, I bring both professional experience and a deep personal investment in our schools. I have a strong business background and years of experience working in complex, matrixed organizations where influencing, collaborating, and managing change effectively are essential. In a school district the size of Council Rock, knowing how to create collaboration and effective communication is vital to success.
Having lived in Upper Makefield township for 12 years and spending the past five years as a parent in Council Rock, I am lucky to have firsthand insight into how board decisions impact students, families, teachers, and taxpayers. I’m committed to listening and understanding different viewpoints, fostering respectful dialogue, and helping guide thoughtful discussions on the board and with district leadership. My approach is grounded in collaboration and evidence-based decision making, always keeping the focus on what’s best for our students and ensuring our schools continue to reflect the strength and values of our community.
