Monroe County voters will elect new school board members Nov. 8. The county’s two school districts, Monroe County Community School Corporation and Richland-Bean Blossom Community School Corporation, both have multiple school board seats up for election this year.
School boards heavily influence how school corporations function, from approving renovations to selecting the superintendent. The MCCSC school board’s recent decision to alter district start and end times exemplifies how school board decisions can impact families’ daily lives.
School board members serve four-year terms. However, not all terms run on the same schedule, meaning only a portion of school board seats are up for election at the same time.
