Board of Education
Board members volunteer their time, submit themselves to public scrutiny, and make tough decisions that affect the lives of nearly 10,000 K-12 students and 1,500 staff members. Pursuant to Missouri Statute 162.481.6 and 162.491.4, current Board members will continue to serve the remainder of their terms until those terms expire. Every year in which terms expire, those elected to fill those terms will serve for three years.
To request use of an accessible entrance for a Board of Education meeting, please contact the Director of Human Resources, Mark Korell, at 816-671-4002 at least 48 hours in advance.
