Board Service & Candidate Qualifications

In Missouri, school boards are composed of seven non-partisan, volunteer elected officials who each serve three-year terms. The primary job of the school board is to employ the superintendent and set the strategic goals and policies for the district, according to the Missouri School Board Association (MSBA). The board’s other roles include:

• Facilitate public engagement in order to help meet stakeholder expectations
• Oversee the Superintendent of Schools, who in turn is solely responsible for district management and operations
• Monitor district progress toward meeting the Board goals
• Govern itself effectively, efficiently and with transparency

Two KSD school board seats will be open for next spring's municipal election. Under Missouri statute, school board candidate filing for the April election will begin at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10, and will close at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 31. Candidates must be:

• A U.S. citizen
• A resident taxpayer of the district
• A resident of Missouri for at least one year
• At least 24 years old

Candidates must also be current on state and local taxes and have filed required campaign documents for all previous campaigns, if any. Individuals cannot file as candidates if they have been found guilty of or pled guilty to a felony under Missouri or federal law, and/or are registered or required to register as a sex offender.
