Superintendent of Schools

The 2024-2025 school year is here, and great things are happening in Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools!

This year, we are continuing to focus on getting Better Every Day in Every Way. Last year, I asked everyone to strive to be 1% better each day because tiny improvements lead to huge growth over time. This year, let’s challenge ourselves to make improvements in Every Way. Think about how you can improve yourself, your school, and your community.

We continue to focus on our Diploma+ opportunities, which prepare students for college and careers in a global society, ensuring they are on track and on time for success. For KCKPS, this starts in our Early Childhood classrooms by exposing students to various careers. It continues through middle and high school with our Course Offerings, Career and Technical Education Programs, and Internship opportunities. We offer 17 career pathways, and students can graduate with college credit. Our North Star Goal is for 100% of students to graduate with Diploma+ by 2031 while meeting or exceeding the state graduation average. I am thrilled to share that we exceeded our goal of 65% with 77% of graduating seniors earning a Diploma+! That wasn't the only fantastic news coming from last year's seniors: the class of 2024 earned over $293 million in scholarships.

New for the 2024-2025 school year are technological improvements. ClassLink Single Sign-On will save time for students, teachers, and staff by allowing them to log in once with a single set of credentials to access all educational resources and applications like the Frontline employee training system. This enhances security, improves efficiency, and supports a more seamless educational environment.

Another exciting feature is Audio Enhancement, a microphone and speaker system that helps students hear their teachers better. While mainly intended to improve equity and assist hard-of-hearing students, this accessibility improvement benefits everyone. The teachers' microphones also have a safety button to alert building leaders in an emergency.

I’m excited about our district's progress, and I know that by being Better Every Day in Every Way, we can continue to give all our students the opportunities they deserve.
