Superintendent Dr. Darrin Slade will hold a second meeting for parents, guardians, and staff members regarding discipline practices. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 6:30 p.m., at Milwood Magnet School, 2916 Konkle Street, in the cafeteria

During the meeting, a review of district discipline practices, student expectations related to behavior, and district resources available for parents to address inappropriate student behavior and mental health concerns will be presented. There will be an opportunity for questions, comments, and concerns following the presentation.

Employees attending the meeting are asked to wear KPS identification badges. Everyone will be checked at the door to verify that they are either a KPS employee or the parent/guardian of a current student.

Students who did not take a picture or whose photographs did not meet your expectations will have the opportunity for retakes on Monday, October 13th. Please ensure your child is prepared for this session.
