KCKPS ANNUAL REPORT •27
“My passion for education and learning began during my
early years as a child in Kansas City, Kansas. The seed
was planted both at home and KCKPS schools. The desire to learn led me into the education profession, where
I could expound on my passion for teaching and learning,
inspire students, and continue to grow professionally.
“Today, I am a member of the Board of Education and
enjoy serving with my colleagues to raise the bar of
academic excellence for all students. I am genuinely
grateful to experience the various levels of the
education profession.”
- Maxine Drew,
KCKPS School Board Member
“Starting a career here at Kansas City Kansas Public
Schools three years ago brings everything full circle.
Being a human resources recruiter with the district has
given me a vested interest in attracting and hiring the
best educators and support staff, so our students receive
a quality education. This role has given me a purpose to
give back to the school district that helped get me where
I am today.”
- Eric Tyler,
Human Resources Recruiter
“We embrace employees’ diversity
through equitable and inclusive
practices, allowing for Unlimited
Possibilities at KCKPS.”
