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.
See board bylaw 9111 for more information.
I’ve completed my 18.5 hours of state-mandated school board training provided by the Missouri School Boards’ Association.

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.

Making an election data visualization hits differently when you’re one of the candidates.
Flourish isn’t letting me change the number formatting for votes in the popups, which is annoying.
On average, voters chose 2.3 school board candidates. (You could pick up to three.)
