Dear KCKPS Families,

After continued monitoring of power restoration and district operations following last night’s severe storms, all KCKPS schools will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, August 20.

While power has been restored to some of our buildings, ongoing storm-related outages are impacting critical district operations, including transportation services.

These impacts prevent us from safely and reliably transporting students and operating schools across the district.

We will continue to provide updates as conditions change and information becomes available.

Be safe.
