Kim Brack was very involved in the workings of the Steamboat Springs School District before she was elected to the school board. She got to know a lot of the teachers and administration, and eventually, Superintendent Brad Meeks asked her to serve the district’s Strategic Planning Committee.
Ahead of the 2019 school board election, teachers encouraged her to run, telling her she wouldn’t have to spend any money and they would support her in the race.
“If the teachers want you, it is kind of hard to say ‘no,’” said Brack, who ended up winning one of the three four-year terms available that year.
