Cowtown Conversations
Cowtown Conversations is a weekly public affairs show where we discuss matters that impact our lives as resident's of the Metropolitan Kansas City Area.
Section 162.492 of the Missouri Revised Statutes mandates that the Kansas City Public School Board be reduced from nine members to seven. The Statute further establishes that the Kansas City Board of Election Commissioners shall serve as the Redistricting Commission. The reduction in number and the corresponding redistricting process must be completed before November 1, 2018.
In April of 2019, the Kansas City Public Schools Board of Directors will be reduced from nine to seven members. This will bring the KCPS School Board in line with state law. The current School Board includes six sub-district members and three at-large. The new Board will be comprised of five members representing sub-districts and two at-large members. To accommodate that change, the sub-district boundaries will be redrawn. This redistricting process will be planned and carried out by consultants hired by the Kansas City Board of Election Commissioners.
