Revamped Education Board Will Have At Least One New Member

Last updated on Monday, May 4, 2015

(STATEHOUSE) - The bill removing Glenda Ritz as chairman of the State Board of Education will also remove at least one board member, and possibly more.

Ritz is the only elected member of the state board -- the governor appoints the other 10.

The old law said no more than six of those 10 could be from the same party. The new law will cut it to five. That will force the replacement of one of six Republicans on the board.
