State's plan calls a decentralized district with a network of independent schools

A day after a state-hired consultant proposed a school reform plan that could put Kansas City (Mo.) district administrators and board members out of their jobs, the district released its own proposal. The Kansas City Star reports the district plan incorporates work done with a state team over the past two years, blends in reform ideas from area superintendents, and will include detailed strategies to be further developed in community meetings.
