SUMMARY: A new bill is being proposed in the Newton Municipal School District, with both the Newton City Board of Aldermen and the municipal school district requesting legislation to make the Board of Education an elected position rather than appointed. Senator Tyler McCaughn supports this change, explaining that taxpayers want representation for the entire school district and the current appointed process is not making them feel heard. Taxpayers also want to have a say in the direction of the school district, as they are the ones paying the taxes and sending their children to that school.
