The Excellence in Education Awards are a high point on our annual calendar. Founded in 2018, these awards have typically taken place during Teacher Appreciation Week in May, and give cash awards to educators that demonstrate excellence in both the Kansas City Public School District and local charter school LEAs. However, the disruption of the COVID-19 crisis forced the awards ceremonies to be cancelled, as schools turned their focus to shifting to remote learning and ensuring no drop in service to Kansas City’s most vulnerable students.
