Another Person from Ray-Pec



Dr. Kevin Daniel, Assistant Superintendent for Academic Services, is resigning from the Ray-Pec School District, effective June 30, to accept a position with the Lee’s Summit School District.
The Ray-Pec School Board on Thursday, Jan. 23, accepted his resignation as part of its monthly board meeting. The Lee’s Summit School Board also met Thursday night and approved the hiring of Dr. Daniel as Associate Superintendent of Instruction and Leadership.
His new position officially begins on July 1.
Half of Dr. Daniel’s 24-year career in education has been with the Ray-Pec School District.
“I have sincerely enjoyed my 12 years at Ray-Pec, and I want to thank the many who have shaped me into the professional I am today,” he said. “I have learned much from our students, staff and the leaders that I have worked with and for over the years. While I am excited about a new leadership challenge and this opportunity for the Daniel family; I will always be a supporter of the students, staff, Board of Education and Raymore-Peculiar professional learning community.”
Daniel and his family live in Lee’s Summit.
Superintendent Dr. Kari Monsees shared the news with the Ray-Pec school board after Daniel was offered and accepted the position.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for Dr. Daniel and his family, but he will be sorely missed here in Ray-Pec,” Dr. Monsees said. “I can't say enough about the contributions Dr. Daniel has provided this district and the level of support he has given me this year. He is a true professional and we have benefited from his leadership over the past 12 years.”
Dr. Daniel’s responsibilities include the areas of curriculum, instruction, assessment, professional development, special education, summer school, and at-risk and student interventions.
The Ray-Pec School District plans to begin a process to select his replacement.

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post Some schools brag about their high passing rates on AP or IB, meaning the percentage of test-takers who scored 3, 4 or 5 on the 5-point AP exam or 4, 5, 6 or 7 on the 7-point IB exam. Passing scores make students eligible for credit at many colleges and universities. I decided not to count passing rates in this way because I found that many high schools kept those rates artificially high by allowing only top students to take the courses. AP, IB and AICE are important because they give average students a chance to experience the trauma of heavy college reading lists and long, analytical college examinations. Research has found that even low-performing students who got a 2 on an AP test did significantly better in college than similar students who did not take AP. On the list, we also give readers a sense of how well each school’s students are doing on the tests by posting the Equity and Excellence rate, which is the percentage of all graduating s

I have a strong relationship with many of the districts’ families and I can help to bridge the gap between them and the district.   I understand the commitment to the time and energy required each week for meetings, phone calls, conversations, visits to schools, and professional development seminars and workshops.   I already do that with the families that I work with and can c
