| Abstract: | In this report, the Council of the Great City Schools and its Strategic Support Teams propose that the Kansas City (Missouri) School District make a number of instructional, organizational, management, and operational changes to improve achievement, effectiveness, and efficiency. These proposals, in the areas of curriculum and instruction, human resources, budget and accounting (finance operations), information technology, facilities, transportation, and purchasing, are detailed in this report. The report states that the school system is highly fractured and operates mostly in separate silos that lack coordination and collaboration. Interim managers hold many senior staff jobs, and staff members do not always work as a team on behalf of the city's children. The Council suggests that the school district take greater responsibility for the instruction of all of its students and the operation of its systems. The following are appended: (1) Working Agendas; (2) Documents Reviewed; (3) Individuals Interviewed; (4) Strategic Support Teams; (5) Spending by Function and Survey of Urban School Expenditures; (6) District Schools, Enrollment versus Capacity; (7)Benchmarking Kansas City; and (8) About the Council. |
