Two candidates file for Board of Education
Posted on 01/21/2021
Corrected Jan. 25, 2021: The previous article indicated that there would not be an election.
Two Mehlville School District citizens have filed their candidacy for two positions on the Mehlville Board of Education, incumbent Tori Behlke and newcomer to the board Patrick McKelvey.
Typically, when the number of candidates who file is the same as the number of positions to be filled, then there is no election. However, under the provisions of Missouri Statute Section 115.124, the Board of Education election will appear on the ballot because we are also placing Prop S on the ballot. Prop S is a zero tax rate increase bond issue that if passed would allow the district to make facilities improvements to address safety and critical infrastructure needs.
The new board members will be sworn in during the April Organizational Meeting of the Board of Education. The two new members will each serve three-year terms.
