vote jay CROUSE & katie GRILLAERT
April 7, 2026
Jay Crouse
Jay (incumbent) has been a steady (traditional) conservative presence on the board across multiple election cycles. While we have not always agreed with every vote, we value his legal background, independent thinking, and willingness to challenge board groupthink when needed. At a time when strong, reasoned voices matter, Jay brings experience and perspective that help keep conversations grounded and accountable.
KATIE GRILLAERT
Katie’s non-partisan campaign focuses on strengthening public education, listening to families, and keeping board leadership centered on student success and community trust. Her vision emphasizes transparency, collaboration, and decisions that reflect the full KM community rather than outside political agendas. She brings experience in advising critical‑sector organizations on data privacy, security, and AI safety—experience she believes can help Kettle Moraine use AI in ways that are safe, responsible, and focused on students’ best interests.
