Empowering educators.

Strengthening schools.

  • At the Cooperating School Districts of Greater Kansas City, we believe in the power of public education — and the power of working together to make it even stronger.

These are the real stories of how our KC-region public schools help our kids and our communities thrive.

Banking on their Future Success

From student customers learning how to manage their money to student employees operating a real credit union branch, Winnetonka High School is turning financial education into an everyday experience.

Empowering Student Voices to Shape Their School

Students at Paul Kinder Middle School are using creativity, teamwork, and empathy to design a new space that will benefit their entire school. Through this real-world design thinking project, they’re learning how to turn their ideas into impact.
