A Note from the Superintendent
In unprecedented times we look for leadership to help guide us through new and even dangerous challenges that have been constantly changing since the Covid-19 virus was brought into our lives.
This week I want to thank our KFCS Administrators and Directors for keeping our ship sailing in very rough waters. They have led their campuses and departments with a steady hand at the wheel and with calm grace to keep our schools open for in person learning. KFCS provides the essential services for staff and students. Including; transportation, food service, maintenance, custodial, grounds, clerical, payroll, benefits, Human Resources, health and wellness. We also provide instruction, mental health support, extracurricular activities, tutoring and a safe space for our students to grow and learn. The District and Campus Administrators and Directors focus on keeping all of these areas operating to support staff, students and the KFCS community.
Thank you KFCS Administrators and directors for your leadership in this unprecedented time. Your dedication, sacrifice and courage have allowed us to continue to provide in person instruction for our students in a safe space.
Keith A. Brown
Every student, every day, whatever it takes!
