As a mother of six children currently attending schools within the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD), I am writing to offer my wholehearted support for Karin Shumway in her candidacy for the SRVUSD School Board, Area 2.

Supporting our children’s education, I have come to deeply appreciate the importance of high academic standards and the vital role that a strong, supportive school environment plays in shaping our children’s future. Karin Shumway shares this commitment to elevating academics and ensuring that our schools provide the highest quality education possible.

Karin’s dedication to bringing parents back into the educational process speaks volumes about her understanding of what truly makes a difference in our children’s lives. I know firsthand how essential it is for parents to be involved, not just in supporting our own children, but in partnering with teachers and administrators to create an environment where all students can thrive. Karin’s vision for greater parental involvement is exactly what we need to strengthen our schools and our community.

In addition, Karin’s focus on high academic standards is something I value deeply. With six children at different stages of their educational journeys, I have seen the impact that a rigorous and inspiring curriculum can have on a child’s growth and development. I am confident that under Karin’s leadership, our district will continue to prioritize high academic standards and ensure that every child has access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.

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.

Thank you for considering my support for Karin Shumway. Together, we can ensure that our schools continue to provide an outstanding education for all students.

Sincerely,

Cara Trueman
