School board studies opinion on candidates
State Attorney General John C. Danforth issued an October opinion stating that six director school boards lack authority to set policies governing candidate selection. Board president John L. Hearne said the policy and procedures committee will review it before the December 13 meeting, but may not have time to study it in depth. The Jefferson City board has long allowed party driven candidate selection in March mass meetings, permitting independents only by petition.
