Are Kansas City Public Schools Winning Fight For More Taxpayer Cash?!?

The best thing the schools have going for them . . .

All signs point to another low turnout vote were anything is possible. 

Still . . .

History tells us that KCMO voters can't stand the school district begging for more cash but still providing a HORRIBLE product.

The decline began after the last school bond passed in 1967, and that’s added up to causing $1.2 billion in deferred maintenance, according to KCPS Public Relations Coordinator Shain Bergan.

The schools aren’t asking for that full amount. The bond voters are considering in two weeks is $474 million – and $50 million would go toward nine charter schools with the rest toward 33 schools in the district.
