It looks like we have won the first round of keeping Northeast open.  The KCPS School Board decided to revisit their original proposal of closing Central and NE High Schools, James, Whittier, Longfellow, and Troost Elementary Schools and four more elementary schools.  

 

Tonight they announced the closure of only Longfellow and Troost, so we feel blessed and relieved at this point.

 

There was a caveat that changes need to occur in the schools remaining open, such as an increase in enrollment, better attendance etc.

 

Thank you for your support and belief in us representing you.

 

We are breathing a sigh of relief for now.

 

Karole Zinger, President
