Meet the candidates running for Center school board in Kansas City

Kansas City residents will have a say on the next local leaders of their communities for the April 7 elections. This includes selecting the next board members of the Center 58 School District.

The district serves over 2,400 students in southern Kansas City. Four candidates will be on the ballot, with three spots up for grabs out of the eight available.

Ira Boydston IV is the incumbent running for the Center 58 School District board. Joining him on the ballot is Melissa Bellante, Marsha Brown and Kristin Stokely. Incumbent board members Marcie Calvin and Dr. Ronald Fritz will not be running for reelection.

The Kansas City Star reached out to all four candidates to get some background on who they are and what they believe they can bring to the board as the election creeps up. Here’s what they had to say.
