| ===Issues in the district===
| |
| ====Loss of accredidation====
| |
| Kansas City Public Schools has been unaccredited since January 2012. The district has shown improvement over the last two school years and scored in the provisionally accredited range in August 2013. On January 13, 2014, the organization CEE-Trust presented a plan to the Missouri State Board of Education that would dismantle the district of Kansas City Public Schools. If implemented, Kansas City would be the home of an education system where each school earns independence within the system, each school would have its own board and each school would earn funding to choose its leadership, staff and curriculum. Schools would be administered charter school programs, nonprofit education agencies and foundations, neighboring school districts or community organizations.<ref>[http://www.kansascity.com/2014/01/13/4748808/cee-trust-presents-its-proposal.html Joe Robertson, ''Kansas City.com,'' "CEE-Trust presents its proposal to remake Kansas City’s public schools," January 13, 2014]</ref> Kansas City Public Schools presented a version of a plan that would allow KCPS to maintain administration over their school district. Their plan relies on a plan in which unaccredited districts enter into a performance agreement with the state school board.<ref>[http://www.kansascity.com/2014/02/10/4811932/school-boards-group-pitches-way.html Joe Robertson, ''Kansas City.com,'' "School boards group pitches way around Missouri’s student transfer law," February 10, 2014]</ref>
