To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to express my support for Karin Shumway's candidacy for the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD) School Board, Area 2. As a father of six children currently enrolled in the district, I am deeply invested in the quality of education and the well-being of our students, and I believe that Karin is the ideal candidate to represent our community.

Karin’s commitment to bringing parents back into the education equation resonates strongly with me. Over the years, I have seen firsthand the critical role that parental involvement plays in our children’s academic success and overall development. Karin understands that parents are not just stakeholders but essential partners in the educational process. Her vision of a collaborative approach, where parents, teachers, and administrators work together, is exactly what our district needs to ensure that every child receives the best possible education.

In addition to her focus on parental involvement, Karin’s platform emphasizes academic excellence, school safety, and fiscal responsibility. These are the pillars upon which a strong educational foundation is built, and I have no doubt that Karin will work tirelessly to uphold these values. Her experience as a mother of five children within our district gives her a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities we face.

Karin Shumway is not only a dedicated advocate for our children but also a compassionate and thoughtful leader who listens to and values the voices of those she represents. I am confident that she will bring integrity, respect, and a strong sense of community to the school board, and I wholeheartedly endorse her candidacy.

Thank you for considering my support for Karin Shumway. I believe that with her leadership, our schools will continue to thrive, and our children will have the opportunities they need to succeed.

Sincerely,
