Congratulations Kansas City Public Schools 🙌🏾🎉

After years of hard work, Kansas City Public Schools today received full accreditation from the Missouri State Board of Education, effective immediately.

“This is a tremendous accomplishment for our students, our staff, our families and our community,” said KCPS Superintendent Dr. Mark Bedell. “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Schools can’t do it alone. Thank you, Kansas City, for believing in us. Together, we’re building a school district that works for all families.”

Thank you, Kansas City. We couldn't have done it without you.
