Editorial Policy

The Kansas City Education Enterprise is an independent source of professional journalism located in Kansas City, Mo.

One of our major principles is to survive financially without compromising our mission of producing balanced, fair and constructive journalism about public education policy and practice in the Kansas City metropolitan area. We continually strive to develop diverse sources of revenue. We will make it clear to our philanthropic funders and paid sponsors that they cannot influence our editorial product.

Some of our funders and sponsors will take strong positions on education policy, though these positions may vary widely. But all must understand that their beliefs do not influence our editorial decisions.
