KCK schools launch campaign to address violence in community

The Kansas City, Kansas School Board said Tuesday it is launching a community campaign to address violence in the KCK area. The campaign, called “Enough is Enough. Save our Kids. Save our Community” will begin Wednesday morning when blue ribbons and banners are placed throughout the area. City hall will also be lit in blue every night this week. The school district said that over the last year, it has lost 18 students. “While not every tragedy was caused the same way, the majority of our students have died due to gun violence, in fact 11 students in less than a year,” the board said in a letter to families. The school district said it is partnering with the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department and Wyandotte County District Attorney’s office.
