Our Story

Founded in 2019 by Dr. Todd and Kelly Kunders, Candor is a company driven by a profound mission: empowering schools to meet the evolving needs of exceptional learners. With over 35 years of combined experience in public education, Todd and Kelly witnessed firsthand the increasing challenges faced by schools in delivering meaningful evaluations and personalized support. As passionate educators and leaders, they saw the strain critical shortages placed on districts and knew something had to change. Candor was born to bridge this gap, lightening the load for schools while ensuring every child has access to the tools and resources they deserve to thrive.
