KANSAS CITY, Kan. (KCTV) – The Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools are looking for more teachers and support staff for the next upcoming school year. On Thursday, June 6, KCKPS will host a Career and Job Fair to attract what the best and the brightest.

We look forward to meeting with potential candidates and sharing more about the exciting opportunities ahead,” said Assistant Director of Recruitment and Substitute Staffing Cynthia Fulks.
