Times Report
Kim Davidson, an elementary school teacher at Highland School and current president of the Crookston Education Association, the local teachers’ bargaining unit, has been named the recipient of Education Minnesota’s 2021 Peterson-Schaubach Outstanding Leadership Award.
Davidson has been involved in the union throughout her 30-plus years in education, both in her time in Anoka-Hennepin and in Crookston. She has served in numerous leadership roles within her local unions, the Western North Intermediate Organization and Education Minnesota.
“She has advocated, recruited, supported and served in so many capacities that I can’t name them all. In addition, she helped to encourage the organizing of the ESP local in her district and got them to be active in our activities region-wide,” said Mark Swenson, a teacher in East Grand Forks who serves on the Western North IO Board with Davidson and nominated her for this award.
