Your participation—through feedback, conversations, and thoughtful reflection—ensures that this process reflects the needs, values, and aspirations of our KCPS community. Budgeting is about more than numbers; it is about people, and your input helps us make decisions that better support our students, staff, and families.

• May 27 at 6 p.m.
• Board of Education building, 2901 Troost Ave., Kansas City, MO
