EXETER — Anthony Burke, 38, who was elected to a four-year term on the Wyoming Area school board in November, was sworn in Wednesday at a reorganizational meeting along with four others. Mara Valenti was chosen as this year’s board president.

Following the meeting, Burke, a resident of Exeter, said he was “looking forward to working with some great people as far as trying to get our main goal of taxes lowered.”

“I always want to work toward better education of our students to make sure test scores are good and, of course, the safety of our students,” he continued.

Burke, the only newcomer in the election aside from John Bonin, who did not secure a seat, was sworn in by Judge Joseph J. Carmody.

Burke now occupies the seat previously held by Michael Supey, who did not seek reelection.
