Soon, the Kansas City, Missouri School District will learn its accreditation fate.
To prepare for the news, KCMSD is hosting two public meetings and launching a phone bank.
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education voted on Sept. 20 to decide whether or not KCMSD would keep its accreditation. (Northeast News went to press before DESE made a decision).
To answer questions from the community, KCMSD will operate a phone bank from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 21-23. Citizens may call (816) 418-7266 and operators will be available to answer basic and general questions about the accreditation process, how it impacts currently enrolled students and the next steps for parents.
Two town hall meetings are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 21 and 22.
During the meetings, KCMSD Interim Superintendent Dr. Stephen Green and other KCMSD staff will give a detailed presentation on KCMSD’s situation, the district’s next steps and how parents can ensure their children will receive a quality education.
The Sept. 21 meeting will be held at Paseo Academy, 4747 Flora, and the Sept. 22 meeting will be held at Manual Career Technical Center, 1215 E. Truman Rd.
A list of frequently asked questions regarding accreditation is posted on the district’s website, www.kcmsd.net.
