Bio
You can sum up what I'm all about with a short list--wife, mom, believer, friend, volunteer, connector, listener, cheerleader, advocate. I give my all in everything I do and am passionate about loving others and supporting people on their unique journeys.
I'm a life-long learner and try to make integrity, respect, and connection the center of all my interactions. I am excited to be running for the school board because I believe it is every day people who have the power to make a difference.
I promise as a member of the school board I will advocate for our kids and be steady in the pursuit of excellence and peace. Our kids deserve a learning environment that is safe, inspiring, and grounded in common sense.

Danville Mayor Karen Stepper
“Karin and I share a lot of values about the primary role of parents in our children’s lives. She will also be a strong leader in advocacy for our districts’ need to budget wisely in the face of fluctuating funds from the state. As a former school board member, I am pleased to have her prioritize academics and their outreach in many extra curricular activities. We have so many students that will become leaders and we need to support their many avenues for success in schools and in their community—decisions made in our schools rather than by the state. Please join me in my support for Karin Shumway! “

“On a different note, as an educator, I know the value of teachers, parents, administrators, and students all working together. Each piece is so critical and when all are on the same page amazing things can happen. As I talk to Karin, I see her understanding of this and her desire to give all a voice”

Karin Shumway is not just a candidate; she is a mother, an advocate, and a leader who is deeply invested in the success of our students. Her integrity, dedication, and commitment to our community make her the perfect choice for the school board. I fully support her candidacy and encourage others to do the same.
