The U S Census Bureau will hire thousands of people throughout the Kansas City Region for the six states of Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas between now and next spring. Up to a total of 35,000 people will be on staff during peak times.

Harris-Stowe partners with public schools
Harris-Stowe State University and Cooperating School Districts (CSD) of St. Louis have formed a new partnership.
HSSU will partner with the St. Louis Regional Professional Development Center, which is operated by CSD and provides professional development programs to more than 25,000 local teachers each year.
The St. Louis RPDC is one of nine centers created, funded and overseen by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide professional development to Missouri’s teachers.
In this partnership, CSD/RPDC and HSSU will combine resources to ensure that teachers in the metropolitan area have access to activities that improve teaching and learning in their classrooms. Potential benefits include collaboration on regional institutes and programs and the opportunity to convene educators with diverse needs to address common issues.
The partnership provides the opportunity for the organizations to work together in securing grants for professional development programs, the chance for HSSU students and staff to take part in innovative
professional development activities and the opportunity for CSD/RPDC
staff to further their understanding of the needs of urban educators by working with HSSU staff.
“Any partnership that allows us to be involved with improving the quality of educators for our youth is something that we must do,” said Dr. Henry Givens Jr., president of Harris-Stowe.
“The Cooperating School District’s resources coupled with our knowledge in this area are a great match. We are extremely excited to take on this important initiative.”
