Mike Jones is one of two new members who will join an expanded state-appointed board overseeing Normandy's school district. He previously served on the state school board.
The Normandy school district’s state-appointed governing board gained two more members Thursday as the state school board tried to appease concerns in the community over the struggling district’s leadership.
In a brief special meeting of the Missouri State Board of Education, board members approved expanding Normandy’s governing board, known formally as the Joint-Executive Governing Board, from five members to seven.
Mike Jones, a former state board member, will soon join Normandy’s board along with William Humphrey, who served on Normandy’s school board as an elected member before the state takeover.
