Who’s the money behind the Kansas City School Board candidates?

Running for a volunteer position on the Kansas City, Missouri, School Board doesn’t take big bucks.

Still, some familiar names have written impressive checks to back their favored candidates in the April 6 election.

Robert Peterson is the clear winner of the individual money race thus far, bringing in more than $11,000 for his at-large campaign. Not surprising: His yard signs are everywhere.

But the political committee of current board member Airick West — Kansas Citians United for Educational Achievement — raised a staggering $32,000 to back a trio of endorsed candidates.
