As of July 19, two people have filed to run for two seats on the St. Louis Public Schools Board of Education: Donna Jones and Wendy Goss. The filing deadline is July 28. Election day is November 3. For the last school board election there were 12 candidates for three seats.
The application for the open SLPS Board of Education position has been posted at https://www.slps.org/BoardSeat. The current board members will vote to appoint someone to serve the remainder of the term of the open seat, which goes through April 2027. All board members must file a personal financial disclosure statement and complete state-mandated training.
There were 318 students in my high school class (I was co-valedictorian, thanks for asking), and I’m right in the middle of the population low point known as Gen X, so SLPS’s class sizes seem small to me.
