Kellie Zimmerman was sworn in as a new member of the Liberty Elementary School District Governing Board during a ceremony on Friday, Nov. 22.
Zimmerman fills a vacant seat on the five-member board for the remainder of 2024.
“I would like to congratulate and welcome Kellie Zimmerman to our Liberty Elementary School District Governing Board,” said Bryan Parks, governing board president. “Kellie will be an asset to this board as a parent to four Liberty students. We are excited to have her fill our vacant seat, as we will move back to operating as a five-member board to close out 2024.”
Zimmerman has been involved in the Liberty District for several years, serving with the Parent-Teacher Organization and chairing the political action committee. Zimmerman has also sent her children through the LESD school system.
“I was honored to receive a call last week from Maricopa County Superintendent Steve Watson, inviting me to be sworn in to fill the current vacancy on the board and begin serving my community early, before my four-year term begins in January,” Zimmerman said. “I am deeply grateful to the voters for their overwhelming support and confidence in my election to the Liberty Governing Board. I look forward to representing our community and ensuring that our district prioritizes students in every decision. Our students and teachers are the heartbeat of Liberty, and I am dedicated to reflecting their voices and perspectives.”
“We are thrilled that Maricopa County School Superintendent Steve Watson elected to swear Mrs. Zimmerman into office prior to the end of the calendar year,” said LESD #25 Superintendent Dr. Cort Monroe. “Kellie has been a long-time volunteer in this community and is a strong advocate for students and teachers. We are excited to welcome board member Zimmerman in this capacity and look forward to the future of the Liberty Elementary School District.”
The Liberty Elementary School District Governing Board’s next meeting will be held on Monday, Dec. 2, at 5:30 p.m. at the Jerry Rovey District Facility.
Zimmerman will join the board again at the Jan. 13 meeting, along with newly elected board member Sarah Schmidt.
