HARRISBURG, PA – Incumbent Trustee Brian Reiser has been re-elected to a new term on the Board of Trustees of the Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement System (PSERS).
Reiser, a math teacher at Mercer County’s Grove City Area School District, ran unopposed for his seat and was re-elected by acclamation at a public meeting on Friday. His new term begins Jan. 1, 2025.
Reiser joined the board in October 2022 when he was elected by acclamation to serve the remainder of another active-certified trustee who had retired from teaching. Mr. Reiser has been a math teacher since 1993. He holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Grove City College.
Reiser serves on the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) as president of the PSEA Midwestern Region. He previously held other PSEA leadership positions and served as a Stoneboro Borough Councilman.
“These last two years have been quite a learning experience, which I have greatly enjoyed,” Reiser said after the meeting. “I look forward to the next three years.”
