Thank you Morgan County R-II Board of Education Board Members!
   Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by the more than 3,600 local school board members in every community across the state. These public servants are elected by local constituents and do not receive compensation for their tireless efforts. As citizens who serve students and represent their communities, school board members face complex and demanding challenges.   
    During the month of March, communities across the state take time to honor the dedicated service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition Month as proclaimed by Governor Kehoe. 
    School Board Recognition Month is sponsored by the Missouri School Boards’ Association. The Missouri School Boards’ Association is a private, not-for-profit organization that exists to help school boards ensure all students succeed.
We thank our school board members for their commitment to our community and to the students and staff of the Morgan County R-II School District.

Our Board of Education Members are:
Dwayne Schad - President
April Boicourt - Vice President
Brad Chamberlain - Treasurer
Lori Croy - Member
Rosalie Dear - Member
Brian Rasa - Member
Cassie Wilhelm - Member
