Hello
My name is Donald Cook, and I’m running for the Kent School District Board of Directors in District 3 (Covington area).
I am a disabled Veteran of the United States Air Force currently working as a project manager at Comcast. I have a bachelor’s degree in Network Administration and Security from Green River College that I received in 2019. I am a board member of my daughters’ school PTA (they both attend a Kent School along with my wife who teaches in the district).
I am running for this position because I believe I can bring open and honest communication within the school board, to district administrators and staff, and to the community at large. I will work to make this district the absolute best it can be. My children are 5th generation KSD students with my great grandmother graduating from Kent High School in 1939. I graduated from Kentlake High School in 1999, myself.
After watching the district the past decade or so become more and more detached from the community, I want to change that. I believe if we work together we can make this district a place where parents want to bring their students and teachers want to work in.
I know we can do better than we have in the past and I hope I have your support in getting there!
Sincerely,
Donald Cook
