Independence Residents Want Out Of KC-MO School District

And who the Hell can blame them?

I said more than 20 years ago to flies on the wall that the faltering KC-MO School District should be carved-up to the closest next districts.

Residents in western Independence- that part of Harry Truman's town still inside the KC-MO district's boundaries- want to seceed from the KC-MO district.

They have more than the necessary number of signatures on petitions to force the issue to a public vote- but both school districts - Independence and KC-MO- must agree to put the issue on a ballot.

KC-MO's district does not want that issue up for a vote. The KC-MO district is wrong.

People continue to move their children out of KC-MO in droves- this I know as fact from neighbors here in the Hickman Mills district.

After these Independence residents have gone though the "establishment" process- the Captain supports those residents 100-percent.

For the most part- the KC-MO School District is a farce- and those residents should be given their American right to vote on this issue.
