With the KCMSD facing an estimated $50M budget deficit and schools across Missouri and Kansas lowering their budgets nearly as fast as the congress raises the debt ceiling, you would think that either state would do everything possible to present a case for some share of the $4.35B being shelled out by the U.S. Department of Education. And maybe they did. If so one of two things happened; the school system as a whole in the bi-state area is much better off than we realize & doesn’t need additional funding, or state education departments did a poor job of representing the need/plan to reform failing school districts. Assuming that local government is privy to information that this type of funding is being offered, council members that represent the district should have been hounding the proper folks in Jeff city to help put this presentation together and insure the KSMSD is at the front of the line when the funds start to trickle down.
On a side note… it is interesting that schools require a stringent application and review process in order to receive funds while TARP money was handed out without discretion or accountability.
The battle for the KCMSD has been going on since 1963. It will never change or improve. The lunatics are in control of the institution. Al you can do is hide under your desk and wait for it to get better. :))
