Our Superintendent @drjencollier knows firsthand the lessons that can be learned from music. Read this excellent @NSBApublicEd story on where Dr. Collier's music passion comes from, and how we expanded instrumental music to ALL SCHOOLS: https://t.co/KaFKMK8A4F

I’m so proud of our students who represented KCPS well at the Real World Learning (RWL) Get on the Bus event. Our students are being prepared for the future as they develop critical thinking, collaboration & strong communication skills as they attain Market Value Assets!

I love leading & learning w/my Sister Supe, Dr. Pen!! She is brilliant, courageous & so much fun. (As you can see). Supes laugh & enjoy life too, then we’re back to the work of educating & empowering our students . Here’s to an amazing new school year!! #pdpartner #carkaraoke
Energized and motivated after PD. As leaders, we talk about all the important things in life as two determined superintendents, educators, women of faith & one purpose, while having fun. It also doesn't hurt that we were both music majors. #CarKaraoke #SisterSupe @drjencollier

Almost 60 yrs w/o a bond has left major maintenance needs for KCPS, such as A/C, working HVAC units, reliable plumbing & suitable educational spaces. What should be our priorities as we address much-needed facility improvements across our district? https://t.co/Of1Vq2UsQq

Repairs are underfunded in KCPS. Our teachers & students need you! Next April, we will ask voters to help fund building repairs that make KCPS a safe, modern & inspiring place of learning. Please join our community workshop May 21 (details soon) & visit https://t.co/QwnznIE8sc

Being recognized for kindness is a real vibe!! I’m deeply appreciative of @SynergyForAll for elevating and celebrating the value & power of kindness. With all the darkness suffering & anxiety all around us, kindness is definitely needed. Kindness is a superpower. Tap in!!
