Boundaries
The school district serves some of the residents within Kansas City.
It is west to east from the Kansas/Missouri border line to western Independence and Raytown. It is north to south from the Missouri River to Hickman Mills and the Center School District at approximately 85th Street. The school district covers NONE of the city north of the Missouri River, sitting inside the historic boundaries of the city before later annexations. In fact, there are portions of Kansas City, itself, where children attend 14 other "suburban" districts. In other words, the Kansas City District comprises the oldest parts of the city and in no way is contiguous with the boundaries of the city of Kansas City, Missouri.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
