Summary
Governor Mike Kehoe shocks the education world by appointing two fresh faces to the State Board of Education — Vince Schoemehl, ex-mayor of St. Louis with a bold track record in school reform, and Michael McDonald, the first-ever active classroom teacher to fill the advisory seat. Schoemehl’s past includes controversial school consolidations and charter school innovation, while McDonald’s appointment marks a historic first. With the board also hunting for a new commissioner, this move signals a serious push to modernize Missouri’s schools — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
