There were few filings for the upcoming election. There's only one race for an at-large seat (Airick Leonard West) . . . Incumbent Duane Kelly was the only filer in the 3rd Subdistrict. No one filed in the 1st . . . "There's virtually no one lining up to serve" Plain and simple: The Kansas City School District is this town's most embarrassing failure and it's simply not getting better. State takeover is a pie in the sky solution . . . They don't want to deal with it. Better to simply tell the truth to everyone: It's a broken institution, incapable of change. Anyone who really cares about their students wouldn't let them attend one of the worst organizations in this City (other than the Royals).

they should get Alvin Brooks on the school board and anyone else who lost to last year election. Rita and Mark F., school board needs help.
ReplyDeleteIt is a disgrace.
ReplyDeletewhat do you expect from the board pres. who admits that he wont hire white people. he keeps it in the race until they can get a non racist school board pres. and the others the state should have come in a long time ago and took over by starting to kick out the whole school board and appointing a new one
ReplyDeletePeople need to take a stand against the school board. Petitions are the best way to go! Some protest would be nice as well. Take a stand people and demand change....the state of missouri will take notice if you make this a national event!!!
ReplyDeletethe school board needs a white superintendant. "the negro, like the orchid, needs careful cultivation and care"(quote from the film, "in the heat of the night", circa 1967.
ReplyDeleteWe all agree that the district is a disgrace and is dragging down our local economy. We talk about the board and the superintendant, but we fail to discuss the kids. They are the ones who are really hurt by the district's inepitude. I have been on the district's website the last two days looking for info. on the upcoming election(ie dates, residency requirements, etc.) There is nothing. The current board doesn't want anything to change. They have all the power, but refuse to accept any responsibility.
