School closings? Program choices? KCPS asking its community, "How far do we go?"

  • Tuesday, Dec. 7, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., Northeast Middle School, 4904 Independence Ave.

  • Tuesday, Dec. 14, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., Southeast High School, 3500 E Meyer Blvd.

All things are on the table in planning the best classroom experiences for children — from class sizes, to extra curricular investments to school closings.

The district’s future — and the community’s future — will depend on how well we all build a vision “framed through student experience and outcomes,” Superintendent Mark Bedell said.

The decisions ahead are challenging, he said. It has to be the work of all of us.

The invitation is open: Join the conversation. Join the work.
