Joplin doctor provides nearly all funding for Joplin R-8 candidate Marda Schroeder


I received a comment on an earlier post asking why I have focused on the money being raised by two candidates for Joplin R-8 Board of Education seats, Mike Landis and Veronica Gatz Scheurich and not the other seven candidates on the ballot.

Candidates are not required to file disclosure reports with the Missouri Ethics Commission unless they spend more than $1,000 in the election.









Landis and Scheurich were the only candidates to file reports at the 40-days before election. Two other candidates filed at the 8-days-before-election report- Matthew Robertson and Marda Schroeder. I had a post on Robertson's filing Wednesday night and one on his amended report today.

This post will concentrate on Marda Schroeder's filing. The other five candidates have not filed reports indicating they do not intend to spend more than $1,000.

I should have noted that earlier.

In her 8-days-before-election filing with the Missouri Ethics Commission, Joplin R-8 Board of Education candidate Marda Schoeder reported $1,162.52 in contributions with $1,000 of that coming from her campaign treasurer Dr. Michael Joseph.







She also received $100 from Joplin Schools counselor Julia Wood-Narrell and $50 from Johanna Day, retired, Joplin.

By the end of the reporting period, she had spent only $12.52 for a list of voter addresses, obviously for the mailing Joplin residents received this week.

She taught when I went through school and was not a nice person in the least. Should not have been a teacher with how frankly mean to myself and other kids she was. It wasn’t just a bad day thing. She taught the class the DARE program was in I am not making it up. She was even rude when I found her house trick or treating with cousins after I was out of her class. Would not vote for her because of that past.

Mrs Schroeder was an excellent junior high and high school counselor for my twins. She helped us make tough-love decisions that lead to two successful adults. One boy became an auditor and the other a chemical engineer. If it was not for her firm guidance their education would have taken a much longer road. I believe she would make an excellent school board member. She has my vote.

Along with Landis and Scheurich, this is #3 in the "let's buy some school board seats" gang, aka Rylee's Raiders. Voters BEWARE!
