City Launches New Website |
The City of North Kansas City's new website launched last week!
The site has a fresh new look and updated features and functionality that include a mobile-friendly platform, simplified navigation, a revamped Agenda Center, and the ability for users to sign-up for email notifications tailored to their interests.
Over the next month, the City will be transitioning administrative notices such as Agendas and the Week in Review from Textcaster to the email notification function on the new website. Textcaster will still be used for urgent notifications, such as water services disruption or street closures, while routine notices will be messaged through the new functionality of the new website. Click here to "Stay Connected to North Kansas City" and sign up for email updates or text alerts.
Congratulations to the City's website team for all of their hard work on this project! Check out the new website at www.nkc.org. |

NORTH KANSAS CITY SCHOOLS
April 5, 2022 Zero Tax Increase Levy Transfer & Bond
|
North Kansas City Schools is home to 21,000 students and counting! Now the second-largest school district in Missouri, NKC Schools is projected to grow by more than 1,500 students in the next five years. New and expanded schools are needed to accommodate rapid growth and welcome new students. Replacing and renovating older schools across the district will ensure all students have the best opportunities to learn in world-class environments. Comprehensive updates will bring new, modern learning spaces and critical safety and systems improvements. As more students and families join NKC Schools, additional staff and services are required to meet greater needs. Inflation has also driven the district's operating costs up. Additional support will ensure we continue serving as Champions for All Students.
To make these proposed improvements a reality, NKC Schools asks voters to consider a zero tax increase levy transfer and $140 million bond issue on the April 5, 2022 ballot. Review the NKCS 2022 Ballot Overview pdf for more information or visit nkcschools.org/2022 to learn more. |

Don't forget to "Think NKC for Valentine's Day"! North Kansas City has something for everyone no matter how you like to celebrate Valentine's Day with that special someone or just treat yourself! Looking for something sparkly and shiny ... think Meierotto's Jewelers or Helzberg Diamonds. Maybe a casual dinner at one of North Kansas City's many restaurants, followed by a movie at Screenland Armour Theatre and some wine before or after dinner at Sail Away Wine is more your style. Like to make everyone at the office smile ... get something sweet at Donut King or drop by DQ Grill & Chill for a frozen treat to share with everyone. Perhaps a "night in" with dinner and binging your favorite show is what makes you and your sweetie happy ... pick-up something yummy at Scimeca's Deli, Smokin' Guns BBQ, Chappell's Restaurant, or one of the many other NKC restaurants offering pick-up services. Looking for an evening of fun, food, adult beverages and entertainment ... Harrah's is always a "safe bet" or Chicken N Pickle's "Flights and Bites" might be just what you're looking for! And, those are just a few of the many possibilities, so be sure to "Think NKC for Valentine's Day"! |
