KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Power and Light District announced that it is renewing its partnership with Kansas City Public Schools by gifting a teacher a two-year lease.

KCPS teachers can nominate themselves or colleagues for the giveaway. The application will be sent out directly to teachers, with the nomination period ending on September 30. The winner will be selected in late October.

“We are thrilled to once again partner with the Kansas City Power & Light District for the sixth year to provide a free apartment lease to one of our incredible teachers. This initiative is just one way we can show our gratitude for the tireless dedication of our educators. We’re also deeply appreciative of the Kansas City Power & Light District for offering generous discounts to all KCPS employees, further supporting our team,” said Dr. Jennifer Collier, superintendent of Kansas City Public Schools.
