Ste. Genevieve Co. R-II board swears in new members, elects officers and approves summer calendar

The Ste. Genevieve Co. R-II Board of Education opened its reorganization meeting by swearing in newly elected directors, who recited the oath to support the U.S. and Missouri constitutions and to faithfully discharge the duties of school director for the district. The board then moved into its reorganizational business, electing officers and delegates by acclamation.

Board members made motions to close nominations and elect candidates by acclamation for the positions of board president and vice president and for the Missouri School Boards Association (MSBA) delegate and alternate. The chair called for a voice vote and declared the nominations approved.

Later in the meeting the board considered routine governance items in regular open session. A motion to approve the 2026 summer school calendar — which lists Algebra I/1.5, English I'IV and a personal-finance credit offered during the first semester of the summer session — was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Administrators said the personal-finance course typically draws about 20'25 students during summer sessions.

The board also approved continuing its service agreement with the Missouri School Boards Association, which the district said provides policy and legal-change guidance for boards. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was provided in the public record.

The board announced that personnel actions taken during closed session will be provided publicly within 72 hours as required by state law.

The meeting concluded with routine announcements and upcoming dates for graduations and community events.
