“  | The Kansas City School Board welcomes public comment during its regular business meeting to provide families and community members an opportunity to communicate their interests and concerns. The Board uses the public comment period as an opportunity to listen and receive information, but not to debate issues or enter into a question-and-answer session.

* Individuals interested in providing public comment during the Board’s regular monthly business meeting should contact the Office of Board Services before 3 p.m. on the day of the meeting (normally the fourth Wednesday of the month) by calling (816) 418-7621 or via email at board@kcpublicschools.org. Alternatively, individuals may sign the “Speaking at the Board Meeting” sheet at the meeting before 6:15 p.m. on the day of the Business Meeting.
* The Board Secretary will ask if there is a topic that you wish to address. This query allows the Board to make the agenda more transparent by adding that information to the agenda. Please include your name, address, phone number and topic.
* The Board allows for up to 10 speakers per public comment period. The Board Chair will call on individuals who sign up to speak; substitutions are not permitted.
* During the public comment portion of the meeting, the Board Chair will call each individual to the podium in the order in which they signed up.
* Each speaker is limited to three (3) minutes.
* Speakers may provide written information to support their commentary.
* Comments must be acceptable for a business and family-friendly environment: Inappropriate language, gestures or personal attacks will not be tolerated.
* The Message Cube is available to submit questions during meetings. This gives the public a chance to ask questions related to agenda items. Please call (816) 213-0997 during the meeting.[9]

## Academic performance[edit]

### Proficiency assessments[edit]

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[12]

#### Mathematics[edit]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[13]

## Noteworthy events[edit]

### 2011-2019: School district accreditation classification changes[edit]

Prior to 2011, Kansas City Public Schools had been provisionally accredited for more than nine years, following a two-year period where it was unaccredited.[18]

In 2011, the school district was stripped of its accreditation by the Missouri Board of Education. The state board cited instability in district leadership and failure to improve academic performance in its decision. The district's unaccredited classification was made effective in January 2012.[18][19]

In 2014, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education voted unanimously to classify Kansas City Public Schools as provisionally accredited based on the district’s preliminary 2014 annual performance report and since the district scored in the provisional range for two years in a row.[19] In the 2014–2015 school year, the school district had 13 schools that met the state standard for full accreditation and eight schools met the standard for provisional accreditation.[20]

In 2019 at the state school board's monthly meeting, state board of education officials announced their recommendation that Kansas City Public Schools should remain provisionally accredited, citing the district's latest performance report.[21]

### 2015: Lawsuit regarding student protest in response to fatal shooting of Michael Brown settled[edit]

In November 2014, Governor Jay Nixon (D) gave a speech at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy. Students protested the fatal shooting of Michael Brown during the speech by refusing to sit down. In response to the protests, school officials placed the participating students in a Saturday detention. The following month, the American Civil Liberties Union sued the school district, claiming that the students' right to free speech had been violated. The school claimed that students were given detention because they did not sit during the speech, not for exercising their right to free speech. In 2015, the school district and the ACLU settled the lawsuit. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri Judge Dean Whipple dismissed the case.[22]
