Jill moved to Plum in 2008 with her husband, Joe Klipa, who has been a lifelong resident. Together, they have four children in Plum school district, ages 8, 10, 12, and 13. You can find her on any given evening at a ball field or school activity, as their children are active in various sports and school music programs. As a mother of four, she understands how different the needs are of each child and how those needs change as they grow. Jill values parents, teachers, and school leaders working together to create the best possible opportunities for each student.
Jill is passionate about ensuring that our schools provide strong academic programs that prepare children for a future in a changing workforce, support for teachers, and communication with parents. She believes in responsible budgeting, and making sure resources are allocated wisely to benefit students and educators.
