Stratton seated as Leavens steps down from Shawnee Mission School Board. Shawnee Mission School Board Member Joan Leavens resigned Wednesday from her at-large seat. Leavens did not seek re-election this year and chose to step down several weeks before her term ended. Several board members praised her volunteer service. “You’ve been an amazing member at-large,” said Board Member Patty Mach. “You really have embraced the entire district. You’ve treated this office as a higher calling.” After her resignation, the board seated Brad Stratton, who voters elected this year to serve in the at-large position.
