8 candidates face off for 5 spots on Moniteau school board
Voters in the Moniteau School District will see eight names on the ballot for the board of directors in the May 16 primary election, with some seeking another term and others hoping to sit on the board for the first time.
Incumbents Jennifer Rottman, Mark E. DeMatteis and Matthew Zietz will face off against one candidate who has previously held a role on the board and four others who are first-time candidates. Current members Michael Baptiste and Randy Armagost are not seeking another term.
Candidate Kathy McBride has served, but not currently. Todd Minnear, Scott “Howie” Dittman, Brittney Beachem-Larimore and Travis Beachem, if elected, would be new to the board.
All eight candidates have cross-filed for a chance at one of five available 4-year terms.
