Parent Meeting Notes

We believe all students will reach higher levels of success and the achievement gap between student groups will disappear. Our vision is to equip, empower, and expect all students to fully engage in their own learning and take responsibility for their futures.

 * 2010 Goals**

• We believe our students will be developers and producers of information who are on the cutting edge and not those who are recreating what others have done, thus making them skilled competitors in a global society. • We believe our students will demonstrate responsible behavior when using technology. • We believe our students will be full participants in their learning, and they will take full advantage of multiple and varied opportunities to learn and enhance their lives. • We believe access to current information and knowledge will connect our students to their community, their country, and their world. • We believe fully integrated use of technology is a fundamental component of learning. • We believe learning with 21st century tools is necessary for students to be college and career ready. • We believe access to technology will increase communication among schools, parents and community. • We believe enhanced technology skills will economically impact the community and enrich its culture. We believe Kansas City Kansas Public Schools must invest in the community and its economic growth, empowering Kansas City Kansas citizens to carry this growth forward.

We believe that this opportunity is critical to ensure our students are competitive, and sought after by colleges, universities and corporations. We also believe high levels of access to technology will dramatically change our approach to teaching and the expectation of our students to become self directed and responsible learners.

This Board of Education has demonstrated courage in the past in making bold moves that have paid off for our kids and our community. We believe that this is a continuous process and that this is the right next step in reaching our district goals.
