KCK schools seek community comments on superintendent search

The Kansas City, Kansas, Public School district is seeking community comments from local groups and stakeholders on the superintendent search process.

According to a district spokesman, the Kansas City, Kansas, Board of Education will hold four virtual town hall meetings to gather comments and information from the community, school district staff, students and families on the characteristics they are looking for in the next superintendent.

The meetings will be facilitated by JG Consulting of Austin, Texas, which has been hired to do the superintendent search. Two meetings will be in Spanish. The schedule:

English sessions
• Tuesday, Jan. 5, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• Saturday, Jan. 9, from 11 a.m. to noon

Spanish sessions
• Thursday, Jan. 7, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• Saturday, Jan. 9, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

Those who have questions are asked to submit them by email in advance of the meeting so the consulting firm can address as many questions as possible, according to the spokesman. Questions may be submitted to [email protected].

The link to the virtual meetings will be available on the school district’s website at http://www.kckps.org/, closer to the dates of the town hall meeting.

Those who are unable to attend any of the town hall meetings, may still provide comments through the online survey located under the superintendent search heading on the district’s website. There will be updates and additional information under the superintendent search timeline.
