Challenge/suggestion for the Star

Okay, so it's decided--we're going to close 1/2 of the schools in the KCMO School District.

Now we'll get to it.

But with all the knowledge of where we've been and what we've been doing, as a city, you know what would make some terrific further reading?

The Kansas City Star's reporters should go around, behind the scenes, and talk to current and past employees of this same school district and get stories on where the millions of dollars of money the district used to have, went.

I've heard some beauties.

It won't ever happen but again, it would make for some terrific reading.

And you know what else?

It might make for some terrific lessons we could all learn, as a city and as parts of this school district.

But look at me. Suggesting we learn any lessons from all this.

What a dope.
