Tele-town Hall




For Kansas City parents, teachers and administrators
Tuesday, February 9, 7-8 p.m.

Schools First is a new initiative created to help all schools in Kansas City - public, private and charter – by improving public safety and infrastructure around the schools. Schools First will:

Use a no tax increase bond to fix sidewalks, crosswalks and other city infrastructure around all schools

Use a portion of a renewed Public Safety sales tax to fund increased police presence around all schools

Focus Kansas City’s basic service priorities on areas around all schools

Partner with all schools to apply for federal and private grants to improve neighborhoods and walk to school programs

Create a city based staff liaison to work with every school

After a brief overview of the program, Mayor Funkhouser will take questions from callers.
