The KCPS-EF believes that a successful public education system depends on three pillars: Motivated students, caring adults, and an engaging community.
“We are connectors, helping the Kansas City Public Schools address the sometimes-competing interests of these stakeholders while embracing the unique tapestry of cultures, languages, belief systems, and socio-economic backgrounds they serve.” — Nicole Collier White, Director, Kansas City Public Schools Education Foundation.
