Ashley Kruse, who described herself last month as “the Susan Lucci of school board appointments,” after two unsuccessful previous tries for open Valparaiso School Board seats, found success after the two-and-half-hour second round interview process on Monday before the Valparaiso City Council.
Kruse was appointed in favor of the competing finalists, who included Ron Donahue, Brett Miller and Kurt Minko, a current school board member who also served as school board president. Kruse said as a board member, if ever faced with the need for future school corporation budget cuts, she would prioritize essential services and avoid cuts to teacher salaries and classroom resources and student support services.
“There is confidence in Valparaiso Schools and the administration and teachers to grow and evolve to meet both the needs and change,” Kruse said.
