The Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Thanks to slight academic gains and a commitment to continued improvement, the long-troubled Kansas City School District won back its provisional state accreditation yesterday.

The unanimous decision by the state Board of Education averts a potential state takeover of the district, which would have happened in July.

State and federal scrutiny of the schools appear far from over.
The district, has been, operating without
State and federal scrutiny of the schools appear in a few The 35,000-student district has been operating without state accreditation since the end of the 1999-2000 school year. It was the first — and still the only — district ever to lose state accreditation due to poor academic performance, state education officials said.
Regaining partial accreditation results in no additional state money or perks, but it does allow Kansas City's local school board to remain in charge of the district.
Branson. The ship is not safe with water.
If results, due next fall, from the next round of state academic tests show the district has slipped backward, then it could again lose provisional accreditation. If that happens, state board member Jeannine Osborn of Kirkwood said she would pursue a quick state takeover.
"The Kansas City School District has done something that is really rather rare — they've patched the hole in the side of the Titanic," said state education board member Peter Herschend of Branson. "The ship's not safe, but it's a lot safer than it was."
Osborn of Kirkwood said the workplace The Kansas City district now is one of 36 of the state's 524 districts to be on provisional accreditation. Also placed on provisional accreditation yesterday was the La Plata district in rural northeastern Missouri, which previously was fully accredited.
A 20-year-old KU student was arrested on a charge of operating under the influence at 1:52 a.m. yesterday at Sixth Street and Bluffs Drive, Lawrence police reported.

LAWRENCE Citizen group to sue City of Lawrence
A group representing Lawrence landlords and tenants announced vester day it plans to sue the city within the next two weeks
Robert Ebey, spokesman for The Citizens Rights Committee, said city ordinance 7326, which calls for inspection of all single family rental homes, violates the U.S. Constitution.
The committee also created a hotline tenants can call if they are concerned their rights are being violated. The number is 842-0452 or 841-6245.
Ebey said he encouraged students to get involved with the committee.
"One hundred percent of KU students are tenants," Ebye said. "Students get intimidated when people show up at their door with a badge. You don't have to let them in."
City Manager Mike Wilden said in a previous interview that the city had no plans to revoke the ordinance if the group sues.
