Kansas City proposes closing 3 schools
Kansas City Public Schools said at a board meeting Wednesday the proposal calls for closing the Southwest Early College Campus and the Crispus Attucks and Satchel Paige elementary schools.
The Kansas City Star reports (http://bit.ly/1Nu07xT ) the plan, which requires the board's approval before going into effect in 2016, would also reconfigure school attendance boundaries, reduce the distance students walk to school and phase in year-round school for four of the lowest-performing elementary schools.
