Jason Roberts, president of the Kansas City Federation of Teachers, supports the district's decision to have classes. "The district decided today that the threat did not merit closing down school, and I'm glad they made that decision," Roberts said. Roberts said he's glad the district did not make a decision to shut down based on fear. "To buy into a threat that something might potentially, one day, at some point, happen — and so we automatically go into shut down mode," Roberts said. "[It] Only really perpetrates in the future, 'Let's make a threat to shut down school.'"Roberts said he applauds the way KCPS takes student and staff safety.
