Dr. Jennifer Collier · Superintendent-Kansas City Public Schools
“My mother is a former teacher and Principal in Kansas City, and I had an opportunity to observe her, and other dedicated African American educators provide meaningful learning opportunities for students in Kansas City. Observing their work and impact, inspires me to strive each day to lead and work in a way that advances equity, access and opportunities for the students in KCPS, where I serve.”
