As a dedicated public education advocate with a dozen years of experience as a member of the USD 497 Board of Education, I have a deep understanding of the needs of our community, and of the challenges that our schools face. I have the knowledge and skills to continue leading the district forward. I am committed to finding creative solutions and holding the district accountable to meeting the needs of our students, staff, and families.

Lawrence families deserve a world-class public education no matter in which neighborhood they live. My work over the past dozen years has been focused on realizing that vision.

Lawrence Rotarian Chuck Warner announced the award, praising Kimball for “modeling service above self" and for her advocacy for public education at the local, state, and national levels.

“My service to the community in this role has been incredibly rewarding and I think incredibly important for seeing our district through what has been some pretty difficult time, especially the last few years,” Kimball said. “We’ve been working as a board and as a district on a number of priorities that I think are finally starting to fall into place.”
