Kansas City School District School Closings in Perspectives.

Just to put things in perspective Blue Valley School district in Johnson County Kansas has a school enrollment of around 21,000 students in 33 schools.   Kansas City School District has 18,000 students in 61 schools.  The school board has in most schools a 50% capacity according to their own statements.  What has really happened over the last decades with their inept school boards and administrators is refused to close those schools systematically over time as politics and fear of local politicians forced them to continue down the path they are own.

But what this demonstrates more than anything is true leadership is most effective when hard decisions are made early and often to curb the dramatic and earth shattering problems that can be catastrophic to an organization, school and community.  For too long this school district has suffered from one monumental item – lack of true leadership!!
