Sloan: I will strive to make the school district better

(The following message was posted this morning by successful Joplin R-8 Board of Education candidate Chris Sloan on his campaign Facebook page. Sloan was elected to a one-year position.)

I wanted to say thank you to the community for the amazing support! 

I want to thank JNEA and JESP for your enthusiastic endorsements, and all the support from the people at Christ's Community United Methodist Church - Joplin, as well as the people I have been friends with over the years. 

I was humbled to know that 2,550 voters trusted me to represent them on the board. I will strive to make the School District better in my one year I have!!!!
