Editorâs note: This weekâs edition features Greenville ISD board member Aletha Kruse, and next weekâs edition will feature Alethaâs husband, Greenville City Council member Tim Kruse.
Aletha Kruse serves on the Greenville ISD board, and her husband, Tim Kruse, was sworn in as a member of the Greenville City Council in November. Instead of referring to them as a âpower couple,â Aletha prefers a softer description.
âI would say that itâs interesting to have two family members serving in these positions at the same time,â she modestly replied during a recent interview.
