Duane Kelly Calls for a Grassroots Approach to Education

Throughout his 40-plus year career in education, Duane Kelly, the elected representative of Sub-District Three on the Kansas City, Missouri School District School Board, has proven to be an invaluable resource. Aside from working as a teacher with the Kansas City Missouri School District for 33 years, he pioneered the field of secondary ecology education, becoming one of the first ever to introduce the science to high school curriculum.

For a pioneer in his field, Kelly adopts a surprisingly simple, grassroots approach to education. He stands firm in his belief that successful school administration is built upon communication and first-hand experience. Slowly but surely, Kelly is determined to bring about positive change in the way education is administered “for the sake of the children.”

Kelly also continues to be a proactive environmentalist, supporting such organizations as The Nature Conservancy, the National Wildlife Federation, World Wildlife Fund, the Sierra Club, National Audubon Society and Redwoods Protection. An avid outdoorsman, he spends his free time studying nature, bird watching and canoeing.
