The history of Kansas City Kansas Public Schools (KCKPS) is rich, and it is not as well-known as the history of Kansas City Public Schools in neighboring Missouri. KCKPS had its own unique journey that magnified the challenges it faced to integrate the district. This historical research study examines the history of KCKPS and how race relations and politics of the state, city, and county shaped the actions of district leadership and the conditions of the schools. This study explores the tenures of three superintendents: M. E. Pearson, F. L. Schlagle, and O. L. Plucker, whose years of service encompassed 1902 until 1986. Historical research was used as a methodology in this study to give voice to those from the past and those who are living today who are a part of that past. The results of this research found the stability was not that of the district leadership, but of the Black community. The voices in this study gave insight into the institutional caring of the segregated schools they attended and the caring within the Black community that prepared them to be strong and proud of their history. This study provides an overview of the evolution of schooling in Kansas City, Kansas, and how those in the community dealt with the racial and social challenges and changes in their neighborhoods.

In 1987 Judge Russell Clark mandated tax increases to help pay for improvements to the Kansas City, Missouri, School District in an effort to lure white students and quality teachers back to the inner-city district. Yet even after increasing employee salaries and constructing elaborate facilities at a cost of more than $2 billion, the district remained overwhelmingly segregated and student achievement remained far below national averages. Just eight years later the U.S. Supreme Court began reversing these initiatives, signifying a major retreat from Brown v. Board of Education. In Kansas City, African American families opposed to the district court's efforts organized a takeover of the school board and requested that the court case be closed. Joshua Dunn argues that Judge Clark's ruling was not the result of tyrannical "judicial activism" but was rather the logical outcome of previous contradictory Supreme Court doctrines. High Court decisions, Dunn explains, necessarily limit the policy choices available to lower court judges, introducing complications the Supreme Court would not anticipate. He demonstrates that the Kansas City case is a model lesson for the types of problems that develop for lower courts in any area in which the Supreme Court attempts to create significant change. Dunn's exploration of this landmark case deepens our understanding of when courts can and cannot successfully create and manage public policy.
