SCHOOL BOARD RECOGNITION WEEK

 

Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,600 men and women in every community across the state.  These public servants are elected by local constituents and do not receive compensation for their tireless efforts.  These men and women are the local school board members of Missouri.

 

During the week of January 23-29, communities across the state honored the dedicated service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition Week as declared by Governor Jay Nixon.  The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important function a board of education plays in communities and schools.  All Missouri citizens are asked to recognize the important contributions of these men and women and focus attention on the vital role school boards play in the education of Missouri's children.

ELECTION NEWS

 

This year we have had three candidates file for the three available positions on the Adair County R-II School Board.  Those who have filed include incumbents Traci Hill and Curtis Gordon and Alissa Treasure.

 

The district will not hold an election since the number of candidates who have filed for the Board is equal to the number of positions available.
