KCMO School District improvements

January 16, 2004 |

KCMO School District LogoThe Kansas City, Missouri School District has come very close to regaining full accreditation during a recent evaluation by the state Department of Education. While the district will likely continue with provisional accreditation for at least another year, the evaluation marks another incremental improvement following on last October’s end of the desegregation case and return to local control.

    This is good news. The district is slowly but surely improving. We have a dedicated superintendent who is sticking around for more than a few months, and the school board is no longer on TV every night for yet another scandal or argument. I think they are finally putting a lot of the bad history behind and really focusing on the students and their achievement. Unfortunately the district still has to educate some of the poorest and most unprepared students, but things are getting better. It’s time for the entire metro area community to start supporting the district.

    I agree that the district is improving and needs more support from the community. Even people in the suburbs should have a stake in improving the school district that carries the city’s name. We are surrounded by some of the best schools in the country, like Lee’s Summit, Park Hill, Blue Valley, Liberty, etc. It’s a shame that all of that all of that knowledge and experience isn’t being leveredged to help the KCMSD.
