The St. Joseph School District Board of Education swore in it's two new elected members and selected new leadership during its meeting on Monday night.
Cassandra Veale and Jacob McMillian secured the two open school board seats in last Tuesday's election. Veale received the most votes with 3,954, followed by McMillian with 3,384.
The board also voted to select a new president and vice president. Ronda Chesney was elected president of the school board by a 4–3 vote. Chesney previously served as the board’s vice president. During the vote, former School Board President LaTonya Williams objected, stating that Kim Miller should not have been allowed to vote due to a Missouri Constitution violation that occurred last month.
The newest seat on the board, McMillian was elected vice president of the school board. The next school board meeting is scheduled for April 27.
