TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL SALE APPROVED AMID CONTROVERSIAL KANSAS CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPURPOSING PLAN!!!
Just a bit of KCPS progress to report tonight amid the increasing realization that Kansas City simply isn't home to as many families as it once was and our school system remains in an overall state of decline and downsizing.
To wit . . .
DESPITE SOME COMMUNITY OBJECTIONS KANSAS CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS APPROVED THE SALE OF WESTPORT HIGH!!!
In the short term, many describe this move as a win because it unloads yet another property from an already crowded slate . . . However, nearby neighbors and biz have never really agreed about the best use of the facility and argument about this structure led to the ousting of one school board member.
Check the statement . . .
KCPS approves sale of Westport High
Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS) has approved the sale of Westport High to Kansas City Sustainable Development Partners, LLC (KCSDP) for the historic redevelopment of the building as a mixed-use project. The redevelopment of Westport High, combined with Westport Middle, which was purchased by KCSDP in January 2014, will be known as Westport Commons: Center for Creativity and Innovation.
For more information about the project, CLICK HERE.
In advance of any rezoning or special use permit hearing, KCSDP will host two public meetings in coordination with the Southmoreland, Old Hyde Park and Hyde Park neighborhood associations. This will give the neighborhoods an opportunity to weigh in as the project progresses. For detailed questions about the site redevelopment, please contact Chip Walsh with KCSDP at 816.808.2956 or efwalsh@att.net.
If you have comments/questions, please contact the Repurposing Initiative Office at repurposing@kcpublicschools.org or 816-418-7725.

better title. Teaching sell out moment?
ReplyDeleteAttending the public meetings would be interesting there will probably be some yelling and screaming.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for stray bullets TKC and wear a vest.
Hey where's the Mike Sanders update??? I thought he was resigning today!!
ReplyDeleteNo??? Wait, Buttfuckholio's "insiders" were wrong AGAIN?!?! This is becoming a bad habit!! Geez, now it just looks like you were doing nothing but acting like a complete TOOL after someone's father passed away. I expect more from a self-proclaimed "news source" Tony!! LOL!!!!!!!
Where's the Mike Sanders update? Today was the day he wasn't coming back, right?
ReplyDeleteTHE SILENCE TONY. IT'S DEAFENING!!!
ha ha loser.
who is Sanders? Don't give a shit about him.
ReplyDeleteWhat i do care about is what the hell they are doing to do with this school. It's right down the street from me.
^^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteHe's not going to respond....too busy getting his knob polished in the parking lot at Missy B's.
7:27-7:44 (#2): Already hitting the sauce, trolley boy?
ReplyDeleteKeep reading and waiting. That's what Tony Botello wants. He wants as many people reading his blog as possible. That's not a hard motive.
ReplyDeleteAs with Sanders as with the schools, they have both seen better days and they are both on their way out.

ReplyDeleteRead the plans, they are a joke. Revert back to the KCMSD after a few years.
ReplyDeleteAww.... that's so precious!!! Look at 7:48!!! Tony has a little fan-boy!!! Well, at least we know who he was in the parking lot with. Plus he can type with his mouth full!!
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteYou're the one who is on the blog constantly. Pretty sure that makes you the fanboy?
Market rate apartments haven't been in the neighborhood for years.
ReplyDeleteTony @ 7:58!!! Don't despair little camper!! You'll get exactly the recognition you deserve before you know it!! Keep those double chins up!!!
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteHey wildman, that was me not TKC. It's good that you keep reading and keep those conspiracy theories up to date - Didn't you think I was Tony last month, too? We've got more surprises for you, too!
Guess again Stupor Daze!! You might get lucky one of these days!!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't trust the Hyde Park Neighborhood association involvement in ANYTHING. This nothing more then an unethical investment group.
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes on Armour and Troost. The Association prez. is going to make a chunk o change on that project through eminent domain. What a Snake. I bet she is going to make cash on the Westport school sale.
Trolley boy is on TKC from 7:27 to 11:33. Wassa matta widdwe boy? Don't you have anything going on in what passes for a life in your world?
