SB 839 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Moves school board elections to the November general election

SB 839 would move all Missouri school board elections to the November general election in even-numbered years, starting in 2028. This change affects all public school districts in Missouri, requiring elected school board members to serve four-year terms beginning in 2028. Current members with terms expiring in odd-numbered years would serve until the next November election, and elections would be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The bill modifies Missouri Revised Statutes to establish this new election schedule for all school board positions.
