The fall introduction of the Information Technology Academy program for high school juniors and seniors prepares them for post-secondary education and work as certified network engineers. The Adult Diploma offered through the Office of Community Education, is one of only six such programs in the state of Missouri. This program allows students to complete their high school education and receive a diploma. The newly created Diversity Advisory Council has developed a comprehensive plan to address the growing needs of diversity in The North Kansas City School District.
Continuous improvement involves student achievement, staffing and facilities.
Challenges for the district include increasing diversity of staff, air-conditioned facilities, and to become a paperless organization. Speakers at the breakfast included Dick Woods, Tammy Henderson, Marcy Driskill and Dan Kahler. Kris Ketz, KMBC-TV news anchor, served as emcee. Ketz has two children who attend school in The North Kansas City School District. Dick Woods, Foundation president, has served on the Education Foundation board for four years.
