My Name is Kate Fuller and I am running for the Aurora City School Board. I moved to Aurora 9 years ago when my oldest child was about to start elementary school. We were attracted to Aurora because of the highly rated school district and the reasonable taxes. I am a small business owner and operator, I am the mother of 3 children, and I am an active volunteer in the community. I have served on the Aurora Schools Foundation Board for 8 years, I’m active in my neighborhood, my church, and in the schools. Through my volunteer work I have made relationships with educators, administrators, the city, and other community leaders. These relationships uniquely qualify me for the role of school board. I am running because I want to continue to serve my community in an even more impactful way.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Aurora City Schools offer an amazing education to its students, we have the best educators, and a supportive community. Our biggest challenge we face is our infrastructure. Miller and Leighton are both dealing with overcrowding, our roads & parking lots are crumbling, safety issues at Harmon, and Craddock is literally falling apart. We have the privilege of being a growing district so these are issues that we will continue to struggle with going forward. The Craddock property was built in 1911 and the age of the facility is starting to become a larger and larger problem. Harmon was originally designed as an open-concept school but its design didn’t work in reality. “Classrooms” were fashioned by hanging removable walls. This is not safe!
• Last year, a levy was put on the ballot to build a new High School. The plan was extremely expensive, the location was problematic, and it wasn’t justiciable because our current HS is serving our needs adequately. The levy failed because the board was not in touch with what the community actually wanted and needed. Aurora is a community that supports its public schools, but this plan missed the mark. If I am elected I will make sure whatever levy gets on the ballot next year is one the community can get behind and actually solves the issues at hand.
• The new plan is to tear down the aging bus garage & build a new 1-3 school in its place. Tear down the existing Craddock & rebuild a bus garage on the other side. Miller will get an addition & the Kohanski Conference Center’s ground level will be built out to serve as admin offices. This plan is not in stone yet & I believe there is room for improvement. Room for collaboration with the city & business to keep cost down & benefit the community as a whole. Decreased state funding has been affecting our public schools, leaving taxpayers holding the bag. Successful districts around the nation are combating defunding by partnering with their cities & businesses to maintain education w/o raising taxes every year.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

School Funding and Finance, Family and Community Engagement, Facilities and Infrastructure, Workforce Development and Career Pathways.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity and problem solving skills.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I was a waitress at Bob Evans for 6 years. I started working when I was 15 1/2. Working in the service industry teaches hard work, time management, and people skills. Skills I use everyday. I think if everyone had the opportunity of working in the service industry the world would be a better place.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I have intentionally not accepted any political backing. I believe doing what is best for kids and my community is not political and I do not want to be beholden to any political organization.
