School Board Vacancy - August 2019

SCHOOL BOARD VACANCY
Accepting Applications for School Board Vacancy

Applications for appointment to a vacated seat on the Board of Education will be accepted from July 1, 2019 through August 2, 2019.  Applications will be reviewed by the Board of Education and candidates will be interviewed at a special meeting on Tuesday, August 13, 2019.

The Board is responsible for appointing an eligible person to fill the vacancy until the next April election, at which time a candidate will be elected to fill the remainder of the term. Applications will serve as written notice that an interested resident is eligible and wishes to be considered for the current Board vacancy. The selected individual will be sworn in on August 20, 2019 and service will begin immediately and continue until the person elected in the April 7, 2020, election is sworn in.

The Board requires all individuals who wish to be eligible for appointment to the Board to meet the eligibility requirements for School Board candidates under Missouri law. Therefore, to be eligible for appointment to the Board you must:
