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.

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.

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
