Cooper County R-IV School Superintendent, Dr. Kathryn Anderson, "has given notice to the qualified voters of the Cooper County R-IV School District, of Cooper County, State of Missouri, that an election for the Cooper County R-IV School District will not be held on Tuesday, April 6th, 2021 due to only two individuals signing up for the two vacancies. Therefore, the two candidates, Justin Hein and Ashley Benny, will be sworn into office at the School Board's reorganization meeting." Accounting to Mayor Justin Hein, there will not be any position to fill in any of the city positions. Therefore, it appears that Bunceton will not be holding an April election this year.
