before its regularly scheduled meeting, the Board of Education held a special reconfiguration meeting to induct the recently elected members and to reorganize.

As a reminder, the Republic School District sought candidates for school board and only three individuals signed up for the three open seats. Therefore, under the provisions of Missouri Statute Section 115.124, the district had a non-election. The three candidates, Denny Lawson, Terry McConnell and Rob Buchanan, were sworn in and will serve 3-year terms.

At the meeting, the following officers were elected by the board as well:

  • President - Terry McConnell

  • Vice President - Lauren Layman

  • Treasurer - Travis Edwards

  • MSBA Delegate - Rob Buchanan

  • MSBA Delegate Alternate - Lauren Layman

  • TASK Committee Members - Robin Davidson and Terry McConnell

  • CLASS Committee Members - Rob Buchanan and Lauren Layman

  • Facility Committee Members - Travis Edwards, Denny Lawson and Todd Wojciechowski

Join us in thanking all of these individuals for their service to our schools!

These details and others can be found on Diligent.

The next regular Board of Education meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 21 at 7:00 p.m. in the Board of Education Meeting Room at Central Office (636 N. Main).
