As it always has, the community remains involved in Woodland and hopeful for its relevance in the future. My project explores the history of Kansas City Public School’s Woodland School. From its beginnings, I attempt to give the reader a sense of how important this school was to the Northeast community. I try to give the reader a sense of the despair felt in the community, ending with the closure of Woodland. I try to share the joy with the reopening of Woodland. In addition to archival records, I collected oral histories from people associated with Woodland to give voice to their experiences. I leave this project with a great sense of gratitude that the citizens of the Northeast refused to let this school die.
