City Schools District
In The Know
In February 2026, we launched In the Know — a new update designed to keep our community informed about state, local, and federal actions that could affect North Kansas City Schools. From fact-checks on school funding to updates on legislation moving through Jefferson City, this newsletter will highlight developments that may shape our classrooms, operations, and resources.
Our goal is simple: share timely, accurate information in simple, easy-to-understand terms and explain what it could mean for our students, staff, and families here in North Kansas City Schools.

You’ll also find updates on other major proposals this spring — including charter expansion, public school funding shifts, and significant tax changes under discussion in Missouri.
