Former State Rep. Derio Gambaro, D-St. Louis, a voucher proponent, was sworn in today as a member of the State Board of Education, according to this photo and brief story on PubDef.
Gambaro's nomination has to be approved by the Senate, but since the Senate is not in session until January, he can serve until that time.
Gambaro, as noted in the June 8 Turner Report, is the second voucher proponent Governor Matt Blunt has appointed to the board, following Debi Demien of Wentzville. (And I am still not convinced that Blunt's other appointment, Stan Archie of Kansas City, is not a voucher proponent.) And of course, we all remember his unsuccessful attempt to nominate voucher supporter Donayle Whitmore-Smith.
