School Board Candidate Q&A: Karen Krieger (D) - Centennial School District

Karen M.S. Krieger is a Democrat and Warminster Township resident.

Why do you think you are qualified to effectively represent your community on the school board?

With responsible budgeting and lower taxes: A great education starts with smart financial choices. With decades of hands-on and leadership experience establishing budgets, monitoring spending and identifying and delivering cost savings on Wall Street, I know how to spend wisely, cut waste and find savings. As your school board member, I will work to balance our district’s budget and make sure we live within our means – so we can avoid raising property taxes every year.

Over the past few years, we have seen attempts by some school boards across Bucks County, as well as Pennsylvania and the country, to either unilaterally ban books or make it easier for community members to challenge and have books banned, often by usurping the authority of librarians and administrative leadership. What is your position on book banning, and how will you implement policies to support faculty and students?

I oppose book bans – banning books hurt students. A strong education includes different voices, ideas and experiences. Book bans limit learning, silence important stories and make it harder for students to understand the diverse world around them. I will always stand for education that encourages curiosity and critical thinking – not censorship.
