Modifies the election date, terms of office, and term limits for members of school boards
HB 2536 changes how Missouri school board members are elected and limits how long they can serve. Starting in November 2024, all school board elections will be held on the same day as general elections, and candidates must declare a political party or run as independents. The bill shortens the term of office to two years and caps total service at eight years, counting any time served before 2024 toward that limit. It also requires urban school districts to hold these partisan elections every two years and establishes specific rules for filling vacancies on school boards.
