The KCPS is one of the priciest institutions in the metro wherein locals fund the district with EPIC sums and don't get much in return for their money. 

However, we share this fact check . . .

KCPS WILL NEVER RETURN TAXPAYER MONEY!!!

So don't hold your breath . . . Merely enjoy this consideration . . .
