HB 1722 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies the election date, terms of office, and term limits for members of school boards

HB 1722 changes Missouri school board election rules, affecting all public school districts. It sets biennial elections for school board members on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years, starting in 2028. The bill limits total service to eight years (counting pre-2028 terms) and requires school board elections to be partisan, with candidates declaring party affiliation or running as independents. These changes replace existing election cycles and term limits for school board members statewide.
