At an August 29, special session board meeting for the Shelton School District Karla Knudsen-Johnston was voted on to the board to fill an open position. For 33 years of her life, Karla was integral to the elementary education of Shelton School District students teaching at Bordeaux, Evergreen, and Mt. View. Since her retirement in 2015, Karla has been active with the Mason County Senior Center and is happy to get back into the District. She’s especially interested in learning about the whole district and the whole child, expanding on her view from the elementary school position. In between tennis matches, Karla believes that she has more important work to do and wants to finish her career by serving the community and the district .
