Thanks for your interest in supporting me as a candidate for GRPS School Board!
HI! I’m Kim Baron. I am the parent of three current and former GRPS students. In addition to my role as a parent, I am a registered nurse, a public health professional, a former GRPS leader, an activist, and a process driven leader.
As a board trustee, I will be dedicated to a culture of excellence where students and families can expect high quality academics and extracurriculars, responsive leaders, and safe schools. This is not too much to ask! I will be committed to making GRPS a district we are proud of!
As a public health nurse and the former GRPS School Health Services Director, I am a believer in the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Framework (WSCC). This framework centers students and highlights the importance of the school and community in creating a healthy and thriving school environment. I will use this framework to set priorities and make decisions as a GRPS board trustee. Visit my Priorities page for more information.
I dream of a district where employees feel valued, parents’ voices are welcomed, students are included in decision-making, and district leaders are held to the highest leadership standards. Our students and staff deserve all of this!
Together let’s make GRPS a district where we are proud to send our kids! Let’s be a district where educators are excited to work! Let’s create a district that our kids are proud to attend!
Please cast your vote for me, Kim Baron!
