Missouri House votes to pass school board measure over veto

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A measure Missouri lawmakers hoped would be in place before Tuesday's local elections to exempt some elections from partisan requirements is getting a second chance.

The Missouri House Wednesday voted to override Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a measure that bars former superintendents from serving on the school board in the district where they had worked, among other elections measures.

Supporters say the measure exempting some local elections from partisan requirements is a necessary fix to a law that was inadvertently changed last year.

The school board portion is part of a legislative response to problems uncovered in the St. Joseph School District.

The House voted to override 111-49. The bill now goes to the Senate.

The 111-49 roll call Wednesday by which the Missouri House voted to override Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a local elections bill that, among other things, would bar former superintendents from serving on school boards in the districts where they had worked. A veto override requires 109 votes in the House.

Voting "yes" were 109 Republicans, one Democrat and one independent.

Voting "no" were seven Republicans and 42 Democrats.
