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.

The Northeast community always took pride in and supported Woodland. Despair descended and times were difficult as the district was confronted by its ugly segregation past. Woodland did not escape the turmoil, but community support remained strong. When Woodland reopened as an early childhood center, followed by the Global Academy, the community celebrated a bright future for the beloved school. As it always has, the community remains involved in Woodland and hopeful for its relevance in the future. My project explores the history of Kansas City Public School's Woodland School. From its beginnings, I attempt to give the reader a sense of how important this school was to the Northeast community. I try to give the reader a sense of the despair felt in the community, ending with the closure of Woodland. I try to share the joy with the reopening of Woodland. In addition to archival records, I collected oral histories from people associated with Woodland to give voice to their experiences. I leave this project with a great sense of gratitude that the citizens of the Northeast refused to let this school die. I hope the reader feels the same.
