Pullman School Board candidates see need for change

Pullman School Board Candidates Seek Change

The Pullman School Board race for District 5 features Stephanie Horn and Brandon Kruger, who both pledge to improve transparency and accountability.

Stephanie Horn, 51, a former teacher, and Brandon Kruger, 39, a stay-at-home dad, are vying for the open seat. Horn has four children who attended Pullman schools and works part-time supervising Washington State University student teachers. Kruger has two children in the district and recently started a general contracting business.

Both candidates criticize the school board and Superintendent Bob Maxwell's handling of the dismissal of athletic director Wendy Kruger, which drew over 100 people to a board meeting.

The decision sparked controversy, with a typically low-attendance board meeting attracting a large audience.

Amanda Tanner, the current District 5 board member, was defeated in the primary.
