Big KC School Bond Benefits Crossroads

In April, Kansas City voters passed a school bond that is already making a difference at Crossroads Charter Schools. Thanks to this support, we’re moving forward with much-needed building improvements that prioritize safety, enhance learning environments, and preserve our campuses for future generations. From upgraded security systems to modernized infrastructure, this investment helps us continue creating spaces where every student thrives. Please save this page for future updates!
