Elected by community stakeholders, Board of Education members play a critical role in the success of a school district and in achieving its mission. School board members develop policies and make tough decisions that help shape the future of our education system. School boards oversee every public school district in Kansas. Our Board members do this with no compensation. Instead, it is a desire to serve that drives school board members.

In the November 7 election, Derby Public Schools had four positions on the Board of Education open for four-year terms. Congratulations to Mark Boline, Cathy Boote, Tanya Jacobucci and Melanie Turner on being elected. These individuals will begin in these roles in January 2024. 

Thank you to all the candidates who participated in this election and were willing to serve in this capacity! For more information on upcoming on the Board of Education, please click HERE.
