Warren County Educators Sing Praises of Dr. Kristen Pence’s School Board Tenure

We are writing this letter to express our gratitude to Dr. Kristen Pence, who has served on the Warren County School Board for the last 4 years. We feel that we have a unique perspective. We are both Warren County High School graduates, and our families have lived in Warren County for generations. We also have served this county as teachers with Warren County Public Schools for 28 years, are parents to two children who have attended Warren County Public Schools, longtime residents of the South River District, and are engaged members of our community. We have known Kristen since she was a student at WCHS, had her as one of our caring veterinarians to our beloved pets for years, and most recently, had the privilege of working with and witnessing Kristen in action on our local school board. We have been consistently impressed by her dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment in all her endeavors.

While serving on the Warren County School Board, Dr. Pence has a proven track record of advocating for policies and initiatives that prioritize the educational needs, safety, and well-being of our students and teachers. Her tireless efforts to improve our school system and ensure that every child has access to a high-quality education have not gone unnoticed. We have seen Kristen engage with parents, teachers, and students to gather input and make informed decisions that benefit the entire community. Furthermore, her ability to collaborate effectively with other board members and stakeholders is a testament to her leadership and communication skills.

In a time when our schools face numerous challenges, Kristen has consistently displayed a thoughtful and measured approach to problem-solving. She has been instrumental in revising school policies when appropriate, enhancing board communication with the public, and building positive relationships with the community. Along with her husband, Josh, she has been a public school advocate and displayed a vested interest in the public school system model. We believe that this is vital for any school board member.

We have no doubt that her continued service on the school board will contribute to the ongoing success and also shine a light on ways to improve our educational system. Kristen’s experience, passion, and tireless commitment to the betterment of our schools and the success of our students make her an invaluable asset and a voice of reason in tumultuous times. We encourage the South River community to stand behind Kristen and allow her to continue the crucial work she has been doing for our schools. Kristen is a dedicated advocate for public education, and we are confident that she will continue to make a positive impact on the future of our students, our teachers, and our community.
