  2. Might look in the jails. If they aren't there they should be.

  4. It seems pointless, but in actuality it is not. Green is going after accreditation points; unlike that past few administrations.

    If the KCPS focuses on those points, it can gain accreditation. The number one issue they need to tackle is attendance. When they start enforcing the attendance policy(8 absences a quarter = fail, like Taylor did a decade ago, it will make a big difference.

    Test scores of KCPS kids with good attendance are much higher than those with average to below-average attendance. Nobody wants to admit what that indicates, but there is teaching and learning taking place in the KCPS.
