Wearing a mask or face covering can be uncomfortable, but this is a necessary step to ensure we can save lives and keep our economy open. We wear masks to protect our loved ones, those around us, and their loved ones. Mayor Lucas’s updated Order goes into effect on Monday. #KCMO

And this is why. Note. Mask rule applies to indoor establishments where you’re not keeping six feet of social distance. Not that hard of a rule to roll with. We just want to keep you and all around you safe.

What most of us want to say

Our Board of Directors will be hosting their next meeting tomorrow, 7/22. The executive session starts at 4:30PM & the regular session is scheduled to start at 6:30PM. Join the Zoom meeting at bit.ly/KCPSBoardMeeti… or view it at KCPublicSchools.org/Live.

We're recommending that classes start on Sept. 8 with distance learning, and then we move to different phases of in-person learning over time if it's safe to do so. Our goal is to be back at 100 percent in-person learning. We miss seeing our students in our school buildings!

Today, our Board of Directors unanimously approved @MarkBedell_KCPS's recommendation to start classes on Sept. 8 for the 2020-2021 school year. Classes will end on June 10, 2021. We will provide detailed back-to-school plans with families next week. Stay tuned!

Over 450 KCPS teachers have spent nearly 2000 hours dedicated to professional learning. Are you one of them?

Superintendent @MarkBedell_KCPS had the opportunity to visit with @GovParsonMO today. Dr. Bedell provided data on increasing COVID cases in Kansas City and our KCPS approach to learning in order to keep students, families and staff healthy as we start school on September 8.

Wondering whether you should require students to turn on their videos during virtual class meetings? Here's an infographic to help you rethink that idea #remoteteaching #edtech #isteten #remotelearning

Senator, those of us here in Missouri aren’t concerned about Pennsylvania. We’re worried about our families, our communities, our health. Stop the charade. It’s gone on too long. It’s impacted lives today. It’s tearing apart our country.

If Mayors, Governors, and President Biden want ALL school age children back in school ‘right now,’ immediately provide Covid-19 vaccine for all teachers and educational staff. Treat educators with the respect they deserve.

I totally agree and fully support Dr. Grier’s position on this matter!!

We spent time testifying to the state legislature today regarding school funding and school choice in Missouri. Did you know KCPS outperforms almost half of the charter schools in Kansas City? We do. We are on the rise - join us in the pursuit of achievement for all KCPS kids.

I just wrote a Action Network letter: Action Alert: HB349. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/action…

Police in Virginia say the discovery of four bodies at two different locations in the state are the work of a serial killer who used a shopping cart to transport his victims’ bodies after meeting them on dating sites: kctv5.com/police-4-bodie…

On behalf of Kansas City, congratulations to our students, families, teachers, and school leaders. Thank you Dr. Bedell and the KCPS Board of Directors. We look forward to more achievements for our learners and our community ahead.
