PA:Central Bucks School Board Candidate Karen Smith Offers Something Her Opponent Can't - Experience

Karen Smith has been actively involved in public education for more than 20 years because she believes in the power of public education.

“I love public schools. I think they’re really a foundational part of America and we are highly regarded across the world for our schools,” she said. “The creativity that American kids end up with because of our schools, the freedoms that we have within our schools, and the freedom to think and learn in a number of different ways.”

With more than a decade of experience, Smith, who is running for a third term for Central Bucks School District school board in Region 1, brings a lot to the table – including eight years as executive director for the Pennsylvania School Public Relations Association and six years as the public relations director in the Central Bucks school district. Additionally, Smith was a featured writer in the Pennsylvania School Board Association’s magazine The Bulletin and she is also a Pennsylvania Education Policy Fellow.

Winning her first election for school board director in 2015 provides Smith with a unique overview of the Central Bucks School District both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Smith notes that the district changed dramatically after the 2021 school board elections, and not for the better.
