As a parent of two daughters in the Tahoma School District and a dedicated volunteer since 2016, I have proudly served in leadership roles including PTO President, youth sports coach, and community event organizer. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of the needs of our students, families, and educators. I am also a U.S. Army combat veteran who brings discipline, integrity, and a deep commitment to service.

I am running for school board to ensure every student feels safe, supported, and inspired to thrive. I will prioritize student achievement, advocate for educator support, and promote transparent, collaborative leadership. I believe in equity in education—ensuring each student has access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.

With your vote, I will bring balanced leadership, real-world experience, and a heart for service to the board. Let us work together to create a strong future for all Tahoma students.

My name is Kristi Krumperman, and I am a dedicated educator and manager of a small business specializing in early childhood education. Nearly a decade ago, my family chose Maple Valley for its exceptional schools. Today, two of my three children attend schools in our district, deepening my commitment to this community.

With experience in both the classroom and business management, I bring a well-rounded perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing our schools. I am passionate about transparency in decision-making, student safety, progressive education, and strong school-community partnerships.

Every child deserves a safe, supportive, and future-focused learning environment. As a school board member, I will advocate for thoughtful policies and work collaboratively with parents, educators, and the community to promote continued excellence in our schools.
