The Kansas City, Missouri School District

The Kansas City, Missouri School District (KCMSD) cordially invites members of the community to attend our “Right Sizing the District” Public Forums.
These important meetings will allow the public to provide direct input as we seek to improve student achievement by reducing the size of the district and redeploying key personnel and material resources.

The schedule for the “Right Sizing” forums is as follows:

· Dec. 10 – Afrikan-Centered Education Collegium Campus (Upper Campus), 3500 E. Meyer Blvd. (6:30 to 8 p.m.)
· Dec. 12 – Garfield Elementary, 436 Prospect Ave. (10 to 11:30 a.m.)

· Dec. 17 – Garcia Elementary, 1000 W. 17th St. (6:30 to 8 p.m.)


These valuable public forums will provide the public a key opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas on the school closure process. An outline of the event includes:

· A short introduction by Dr. John Covington, superintendent
· A “State of The District” overview
· Facilitated breakout sessions where participants can provide feedback
· A summary of group feedback
