Mass school closures approved in Kansas City, Mo.
By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH (AP) – 38 minutes ago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Facing potential bankruptcy, the board that governs the once flush-with-cash Kansas City school district is taking the unusual and contentious step of shuttering almost half its schools.
Administrators say the closures are necessary to keep the district from plowing through what little is left of the $2 billion it received as part of a groundbreaking desegregation case. The Kansas City school board narrowly approved the plan to close 29 out of 61 schools Wednesday night at a meeting packed with angry parents. The schools will close before the fall.
Although other districts nationwide are considering closures as the recession ravages their budgets, Kansas City's plan is striking. In rapidly shrinking Detroit, 29 schools closed before classes began this fall, but that still left the district with 172 schools. Most other districts are closing just one or two schools.

Please help push this campaign past the 100k mark before the end of this quarter. RJ needs a strong showing in the first full quarter of the election year to prove that we mean business. Donate right now as much as you can and ask all your friends to do the same. What will the world say when we defeat an entrenched neo-con liberal socialist and replace him with a grass-roots Liberty Candidate? It will truly be the second shot heard round the world and the herald of many more victories to come. Push into the breach once more Patriots...FOR LIBERTY!
