The Education Policy Fellowship Program is a 10-month in-service professional development program for emerging and mid-level leaders. These professionals work in public, non-profit, and private sector organizations, but they all share the same professional passion: education.
In 2014 the Cooperating School Districts of Greater Kansas City and the Local Investment Commission revived the Missouri-Kansas chapter to broaden the understanding and perspective of area educators and others working with children and families.
The new Kansas City regional EPFP program was led by Dr. Bob Bartman, recently retired superintendent of the Center School District and the former Commissioner of Education for the Missouri Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education. Bartman was named a Pioneers in Education in 2014 for his commitment and contributions to public education in Missouri.
