Filing opens on Dec. 9 for the April 2026 municipal election. The St. James R-1 Board of Education has three seats up for three-year terms.
The three board of education seats are currently held by Melanie Davis, Jon Rapp and Wes Gahr. As of Nov. 21, board members who plan on running for re-election have not voiced their intentions to Board Secretary Shannon Parsons.
Candidates who wish to serve on the school board must be tax-paying residents of the district. In order to run for office, a candidate must be 24 years old, a U.S. citizen and reside in Missouri and the district for one year. Those qualified should file in person with the board secretary at 122 E Scioto Street, St James.
Filing starts at 8 a.m. on Dec. 9 and ends at 5 p.m. on Dec. 30 at the Administration Building.
The district office will be closed from Monday, Dec. 22, through Dec. 29 for the holidays, during which time filing will not be available. Filing will not be accepted on days that the district is closed due to intermittent weather.
