Kansas City Public Schools
Many areas that have been annexed by Kansas City over the years are served by 11 districts based in the suburbs.[5] During reconstruction, Radical Republicans advocated for strong statewide public education through several laws and the 1865 Constitution.Instead, it opened what was to become Central High School in a four room building on Eleventh and Locust streets.Despite all the largesse, test scores in the magnet schools did not rise; the black-white gap did not diminish; and there was less, not more, integration.[9] Finally, on September 20, 2011, the Missouri Board of Education voted unanimously to withdraw the district's accreditation status, effective January 1, 2012.[21] In July 2008 Missouri Commissioner of Education D. Kent King asked for KCMSD to give up the schools.[22] During that month a judge ruled that Independence had a right to control the seven transferred schools and the closed Anderson Campus.[24] In 2014, KCPS re-opened Hale Cook Elementary School at 7302 Pennsylvania Ave. in the Brookside neighborhood of Kansas City.This was in large part due to the grassroots effort by the Friends of Hale Cook community organization.[27] In addition, KCPS expanded its pre-K program by opening a second Early Learning Center, Richardson, at 3515 Park Ave.[28] Kansas City Public Television (KCPT) was signed on for the first time as Kansas City School District (KCSD), which owned the station until 1971.Dr. Mark T. Bedell joined Kansas City Public Schools as Superintendent on July 1, 2016.[29] On Wednesday, May 13, 2015, Dr. Green was announced as the sole finalist for superintendent of Dekalb County School District in Atlanta, Georgia.
