Sharon Reichelt is a dedicated educator who devoted an impressive 37 years to teaching in Twin Rivers Unified School District before retiring in 2024. Throughout her distinguished career, she taught students at various levels, including elementary, secondary and special education. After four weeks into her retirement, Trustee Reichelt’s commitment to education led her to apply to fill the Area 2 vacancy. She was sworn in as the district’s newest school board member on July 9, 2024. This new role holds special significance for Trustee Reichelt as a parent, community member and grandparent with grandchildren in the district. 
 
Trustee Reichelt’s journey from teacher to trustee underscores her unwavering dedication to shaping the future of education in all Twin Rivers Unified communities, ensuring every student receives the quality education they deserve. She graduated from California State University, Sacramento, and holds multiple credentials, including a teaching credential for multiple subjects, a master’s degree in special education, and an education specialist instruction credential for teaching students who need specialized support and an Individual Education Program (IEP). In addition, she spent 20 years utilizing her administrative service credential as an assistant to the principal at Orchard Elementary. This experience provided her with valuable opportunities to mentor students beyond her regular classroom and collaborate closely with parents and colleagues to help bridge the gap between educators, parents and the community.  
 
Trustee Reichelt is excited to bring her extensive classroom and administrative level experience to the board, working with her new colleagues to make strategic decisions and implement policies that will enhance the overall educational experience and outcomes for all students.
