Meet the Kansas City Public Schools board candidates for the April 2025 election

All seven candidates running for the Kansas City Public Schools board support the $474 million bond issue that’s also on the April 8 ballot.

But they have differing views on how well the district addresses sensitive topics such as race, gender, sexuality, politics and religion in the classroom.

As voters decide whether to send tax dollars toward a plan to build and renovate schools and address deferred maintenance projects, they’re also choosing more than half of the people who will lead the district for the next four years.

Seven candidates are facing off for four spots on the seven-member school board. But since KCPS is divided into subdistricts, you won’t see all of those candidates on your ballot.
