The health of our public schools directly correlates with the strength and future of our entire community.  Stronger schools benefit everyone.  Stronger schools mean stronger businesses, safer neighborhoods, and a more connected community.  A well-educated workforce benefits the local economy, lowers crime rates, and attracts investment.  The health of our schools directly impacts the overall well-being of the entire city & region.  Better schools mean a stronger, safer, & more vibrant Kansas City.

Our schools’ impacts go far beyond the classroom.  Public education directly affects property values, taxes, and the general health of the local economy.  Public education is a key factor in economic growth, job creation, and community development.  A strong school district can create a more prosperous and stable environment for everyone.  Schools are not just places for children to learn—they are the training grounds for our future leaders.

A community-centered public education system realizes that parents & guardians alone are not solely responsible for ensuring that our students’ academic and enrichment needs are being met.   We ALL play a role in OUR students’ success.  The collective strength of the school district lies within its relationship with the community and the partnerships between schools, families, local businesses, and community organizations.  Everyone has a role in creating a better society.
