Meet the Ste. Genevieve R-II School Board candidates

STE. GENEVIEVE – Two positions, each with a three-year term, will be available for the Ste. Genevieve County R-II Board of Education in the Tuesday, April 5, 2022 election.

 

The expiring terms for Board members are Mr. Terry McDaniel and Mr. Richard Rudloff.

 

Six applicants have filed a declaration of candidacy for the Board of Education. In the order of filing, they include: Jamie (Naeger) Ballew, Michael Stoll, Larry Pfaff, Joshua Gettinger, Samuel Barbagallo, and Bradley (Brad) Arnold.

 

Each year, SGNEA prepares a written questionnaire for Board Candidates to complete. The district then shares these questionnaires with employees and the community. This year, with a larger number of candidates running, it was decided that a Q&A video recording could offer the community more ease of access to the candidates’ stances and backgrounds. The purpose of this Spotlight on the Candidates video is to offer the community an opportunity to learn about the candidates’ stances on issues impacting the school district.

 

All six candidates were invited to participate in the Spotlight on the Candidates video, and four candidates took part. This Spotlight on the Candidates is facilitated by Southeast MNEA – Retired, and is co-sponsored by the following current and retired education unions and organizations: MNEA, MSTA, ESP, MRTA & PSP. This Q&A is not a district event, and the district does not endorse or support specific candidates.

 

Accompanying the video are also written questionnaires completed by all six candidates, and these are linked below. The election will be held on April 5, 2022.
