As we continue to re-define education in Kansas City, Mo schools…we often continue to marginalize the type of power we have over the situation versus what the Administration has. I spoke with a parent this morning about some continued concerns about the school grounds at schools which will remain open next year. More than once this has come up all over the district. We have been advised by the school district because there wasn’t a Chief Operating Officer currently on staff and there are also union contracts to address with the employees, the grounds aren’t being kept.
What are some solutions we can come up with to hold the school district accountable for keeping the grounds? How can we use this opportunity to foster district pride?
A parent suggested “If the union workers do not want to maintain the grounds, there are many people out here who need jobs.”
I (a community member) ask how can we engage the neighborhood associations to assist the school district with bringing back district or school pride?
