School board elections in Butler County: Who's in, who's out, and who's uncontested?

The April 8 election so far has only one contested race across three Butler County school districts and the city of Poplar Bluff as of Monday.

For the Neelyville R-IV School District board, Matthew Marshall, Page Reinbott, and Jordan Thomas all filed for the two three-year positions available. Marshall is the only incumbent of the group after Jill McGruder decided not to run for re-election.

In the Poplar Bluff R-I School District board race, the only filer for the two spots is 20-year incumbent Dr. Cynthia Brown. Morgan McIntosh had filed but later rescinded her bid for the position, according to officials with the Poplar Bluff district.

Incumbent Roger Hanner has decided not to run again.

Poplar Bluff City Council incumbents Lisa Armes Parson of Ward 1 and Barbara Horton of Ward 3 both decided to run for re-election. Neither is facing a challenger, with filing closing at the end of the day Tuesday.

For the Twin Rivers R-X School District, the two open board positions are being sought by incumbent Lee Wright and newcomer Robby Moore. Current office holder Bruce Goodrich is not seeking re-election.
