The results of the Ladue School Board election are in and the two elected to three-year terms are Jeff Kopolow ,incumbent, and newcomer Dan Regelean. Kopolow is a retired history teacher at Ladue Horton Watkins High School, and Regelean works in human resources.

Kopolow had 2,126 votes and Regelean, 1,495 votes. Regelean declined to speak to the media following the election according to district spokeswoman Susan Dielmann, the district’s communications director.

Kopolow’s reaction was swift and to the point.

“I am humbled by the expression of the voters, and happy with the confidence they (the voters) have shown for my work.

I congratulate Dan (Regelean) for being elected to the school board too.”

Kopolow is anxious to work with the new team of leaders, namely the recently-named superintendent, Dr. Donna Jahnke.

“Everyone’s priority on the council of course is kids first. I am looking forward to the prospects of the board this coming year. Our boss is Dr. Jahnke and I know she has the vision to lead. The plans of the board are very appropriate and well directed,” said Kopolow.

The two elected officials will be sworn in the second district school board meeting in April.
