Meeting for the first time since the April 6 election, the Ste. Genevieve R-II Board of Education held its reorganizational meeting on April 20. In its regular meeting, the board then announced official end-of-year dates and approved hiring a new fifth-grade teacher and two new staff members.
REORGANIZING
THE BOARD
The reorganizational meeting began with outgoing member and board vice president Joan Huck receiving a special clock as a gift.
“We would like to thank Joan for serving the community and the school district for 18 years and even beyond that,” board president David Bova said, “for serving as board vice president, for putting kids first in all your decisions and keeping what’s best for kids as your top priority.”
