Lincoln Preparatory Acad-emy has once again gained national attention.

Lincoln Prep received three honors this summer, proving to be one of the most successful schools in the state.

First, Lincoln Prep was ranked the 181st best school out of 1,000 schools in News-week magazine’s annual “Americas Best High Schools.” According to Newsweek, this makes the school the third best high school in Missouri and the best high school in the Kansas City metro area.

Newsweek bases this award on the performance of the school in six key ar-eas: graduation rate, college matriculation, AP/IB/AICE tests taken per student, aver-age SAT/ACT scores, average

AP/IB/AICE scores and the amount of AP courses offered per student.

Lincoln Prep boasts a 95 percent graduation rate and a 97 percent college send-off rate.

Lincoln Prep was also awarded a Gold Award, which

is the highest award it can re-ceive based on state proficien-cy. Lincoln Prep was the only school in Jackson County to receive a Gold Award. This is the first year that the school has received a Gold Award; in the past, it’s received Silver and Bronze awards.

Lastly, U.S News & World Report rated Lincoln Prep 254 out 22,000 schools in the na-tion. Lincoln Prep has been continuously honored as one of the top high schools in the state and nation, though this year has been incredibly re-warding for the school.


Northeast teachers are im-proving their teaching skills through the Pay Incentives based On Need for Excellent Education Reform (PIONEER).

PIONEER is a program that offers payment incentives to teachers in exchange for pro-fessional development classes. Teachers are able to earn up to $2,800 by accumulating 20 or more professional development hours and demonstrating what they learned through journals.

The U.S Department of Education supplied a five-year $13.6 million grant to make this program possible for 10 Kansas City Public Schools.

The professional develop-ment hours are used to teach new techniques and expand the teacher’s knowledge for better instruction in the classroom.

After completing profes-sional development hours, teachers must demonstrate their new techniques and knowledge through journals in order to receive the pay incen-tives. Many teachers include photographs, lesson plans, stu-dent artifacts and other proof in their journals to show their use of the professional devel-opment in the classroom.

The program uses innova-tive techniques to improve the way teachers instruct. Amy Wagner, head of the PIO-

NEER program, told North-east News about a teacher who had been teaching 25 years, but did not enjoy teaching a particular subject. The teacher completed the professional de-velopment hours and learned new techniques to help with this particular subject. In the end, she said that the program brought a new energy into her classroom because the profes-sional development taught her how to instruct the subject in a new way that was exciting for both the students and her.

“This teacher reminded me that we can all improve, no matter how much experience we might have,” Wagner said.

Right now there are 10

KCPS schools that are par-ticipating in PIONEER. In order for a school to be eligi-ble to participate, 75 percent of teachers at the school must vote in favor of the program.

Almost 100 KCPS teach-ers have completed 20 or more hours of the profes-sional development and used their knowledge to better the learning experience given to Kansas City’s youth.

Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS) is helping students get to the library and check out books.

KCPS has partnered with the Kansas City Public Li-braries to increase the num-ber of students going to the library. They are striving to make students aware of the abundance of reading materi-als available at no cost.

KCPS has linked its stu-dent identification cards in grades seventh through 12th for easy library access. Stu-dents younger than this must have an actual library card in order to check out books from the library, but KCPS is working to make sure that all students know how easy

it is to obtain a library card. Just by raising aware-

ness, the library has added 14,000 student users to its system as of March 1, 2012.

“Some teachers give in-centives for the younger stu-dents to get library cards,” KCPS Manager of Public Relations Andre Riley said. “They will tell the students that if everyone in the class gets a library card they will get some sort of reward.”

Providing students with library cards will help im-prove reading and communi-cation scores by giving them more opportunities to read, Riley said.

KCPS is trying to pro-mote at-home reading to pre-vent “summer slide,” which occurs when students forget

what they were learning by not applying it over the sum-mer. Reading at home is a great way to prevent “sum-mer slide” in communication arts and gives students a fun summer activity, Riley said.

KC libraries partner with KCPS to promote summer reading


On its road to state ac-creditation, Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS) organized a dropout re-covery program over the summer dedicated to lo-cating students who al-legedly “dropped out” of school.

More than 800 students were located through phone calls, and 700 home visits were conducted in July for students who couldn’t be reached by phone.

Community volunteers worked from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Fri-day to identify the stu-dents who dropped out of high school and reported

those names to the district.In many cases, stu-

dents did not actually drop out; they moved away or switched schools. The problem with this is that without the correct process and paperwork, the student is proclaimed a “dropout” in the Kansas City Public Schools sys-tem. Having a high drop-out rate is one of the rea-sons KCPS lost its state accreditation in January.

The volunteers started out by identifying every student that was thought to be a dropout. They then exhausted every phone number they had in their system for that student, whether it was for an aunt, uncle or other fam-

KCPS works to recover student dropoutsily member. They contact-ed the students or their family member to find out why they are considered a dropout in the Kansas City Public Schools sys-tem.

If a volunteer could not successfully contact a student, then a home visit was conducted. Four teams of volunteers worked to conduct 30 to 40 home visits a day.

The program lasted from May 28 through the end of June with the base of the opera-tion being at school district headquarters.

“This program was necessary in our goal to regain accredita-

tion,” said Samuel John-son, a volunteer for the dropout program. “Stu-dents need us to push them. Otherwise, they will just stay in the closet and never come back to school. Some parents are just not doing enough, so we have to step in.”

A new bell system is in place for the Kansas City Public Schools system (KCPS) for the upcoming school year.

The new bell times will now correspond with a color group to help families eas-ily identify their students’ new bell times. KCPS en-courages parents to be-come familiar with their child’s color group because both an-nouncements and buses will be la-beled with their corresponding col-ors.

The bell times are sepa-rated into five groups: blue, crimson, teal, gold and violet. The bell times range from starting at 7:25 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Over the past few years KCPS has had $13 million in budget cuts from their school system, causing them to re-evaluate how they operate in order to make up for the lost funds. Changing the bell times allows the transportation system to use fewer buses over a longer span of time

instead of a large number of buses over a short period time, ultimately saving the school district $1.2 million.

The funds can then be spent on supplies for the classroom.

“This plan puts our fam-ilies first,” KCPS Superin-tendent Dr. Stephen Green said. “They want more re-sources used for teaching and learning, but they also told us loud and clear they

need compromise re-garding the times their children are in school.

“No student will have to begin or end their day at times that are uncomfor tab le for families, and

we’ll be able to spend an additional

$1.2 million on resources that support transforma-tion and student achieve-ment.”

Parents and students may contact KCPS at (816) 418-7420 for more information on the trans-portation groups and to receive important updates on community meetings. They may also research the groups online at www.kcpublicschools.org.

Northeast residents be-tween the ages of 16 to 21 can now earn a high school diploma at their own pace through Hope Academy.

Hope Academy is a drop-out recovery and prevention charter school sponsored by the University of Missouri-Kansas City, dedicated to providing youth with a comfortable environment to complete their diploma.

Hope Academy opened its first campus on Swope Parkway in 2009. Since then, the school has helped 111 students obtain a high school diploma.

The academy opened its Historic Northeast branch July 30, and students can still enroll. The campus is located at 1001 Bennington Avenue.

The school is year-round and utilizes a unique bell schedule to allow students to earn their diplomas fast-er and accommodate their home life. Students may at-

tend classes from 8 a.m. to noon; noon to 4 p.m.; or 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The school is entirely on-line, so students can work at their own pace to earn their diploma. The online classroom can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection.

Students can gradu-ate any day of the week at Hope Academy, which allows students to receive their diploma sooner by not having to wait for a gradu-

ation ceremony.A number of resources

will be available for stu-dents to ensure they receive their diploma and move on to the next step of their lives quickly and efficient-ly. Those resources will in-clude a college liaison, so-cial worker, job placement

specialist and a parent li-aison on staff starting this fall.

Each classroom will have 22 students and one highly qualified teacher.

The teacher will be avail-able not only to help with any questions a student might have regarding his or her online work, but to teach in group settings as well.

Before this last year, Hope Academy was only a dropout recovery program. Since then, it’s added drop-out prevention to help stu-dents before they decide to drop out of high school. Hope Academy can offer a comfortable alternative to students who struggle in high school.

This school strives to provide much more than just education for these students. They are part-nering with Harvesters to try to provide lunches for students that need them and are giving away bus passes so that students will always have a way to get to class.

Hope Academy is now enrolling. For more infor-mation or to enroll, call (816) 595-0800.

Hope Academy launches in Northeast


Kansas City Public Schools (KCPS) parents can rest easy knowing their children will arrive and depart from school safer because of a new technology upgrade for the KCPS transportation sys-tem. A $15,000 technology upgrade has been imple-mented for the fall of 2012.

In August of 2011, KCPS added real-time GPS tracking to its transporta-

tion system. The new GPS system helped to provide accountability to both the transportation department and the bus drivers. The GPS system can now track the buses’ whereabouts in case of an emergency. In addition, the GPS soft-ware can aid KCPS while reviewing bus complaints, such as a skipped bus stop or traffic violation com-plaints.

For the 2012-2013 school year, the account-

ability has been improved again with a $15,000 soft-ware upgrade.

The new upgrade will link current bus rout-ing software to the GPS technology, giving real-time tracking information to schools. In addition to tracking a bus’ location, the upgrade will combine information to tell KCPS officials if a bus is on time and sticking to its as-signed route. The buses can be closely monitored

to improve accountability, in turn providing a better sense of security to the par-ents of KCPS students.

Northeast High School is welcoming a new football coach, Terry

McCray, for the 2012-2013 school year.

McCray, former head football coach at Renais-sance Academy charter school, took on this po-sition after Renaissance closed down last spring. In addition to coaching football, he also served as a middle school bas-ketball coach.

McCray said that he wanted to join a program that was similar to his previous job, and North-east was exactly what he was looking for.

“We picked McCray out of a lot of candi-dates,” said Joe Coleman, principal of Northeast

High School. “We picked the best person for the job based on personality and experience. McCray seemed like the best per-son to lead Northeast and will be a great addi-tion to our school.”

McCray said he aims to teach young boys in this community impor-tant fundamentals for the rest of their lives.

“I want to be a role model for these boys,” McCray said. “I have al-ready started teaching them that they need to be on time. They may say, ‘Coach, I’m only two minutes late,’ but later in life if they are two

As well as being on time, McCray said he also wants to teach his players to overcome ad-versity and push them-selves harder than they have been pushed be-fore. McCray put these teachings into action be-fore the football season began by planning a ser-vice project for the play-ers at the end of July. McCray plans to lead the players to a success-ful season on and off the field.
