Citizens in the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District will not be able to vote for Board of Education members this year.
Only two candidates — both incumbents — filed for two open seats on the board. Patti Buie and Ron Baker will be sworn into their new terms in office after the April 3 general election date.
According to Missouri State statute, when the number of candidates matches the number of vacant positions, no ballot is required. This law is intended to save money for the district, which otherwise would have to foot the bill for the election.
