State board begins search for new commissioner
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The state board of education’s committee to search for a new education commissioner will meet for the first time at 10 a.m. Wednesday in Jefferson City.
The board hopes to select a new commissioner by mid-summer to replace D. Kent King who died early in January.
The commissioner serves as director of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and as the state’s top official for public elementary and secondary schools.
Last month, the board appointed Thomas R. Davis, a Kansas City businessman and former member of the state board, to chair the search committee.
On Davis’s recommendation, the board appointed eight other members and two alternates to serve on the committee.
Is there a job description anywhere for being commissioner? Who are their candidates in the que? Just curious

When will the State Board allow Citizen Public Comment ?
Don’t you think the Community Deserve a Say in The Selection of a Commissioner of Education ?
