> I mostly agree, but there are far more white people living within the boundaries of the Kansas City Public School District than you realize. It's difficult to find numbers, but I guesstimate that at least 30% and probably more like 40–50% of residents there are white.

That guesstimate looks high, based on what I could find of the boundaries of the district and the racial data from this map: http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/

Here [0] are the numbers from the most recent five-year estimates of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, aggregated over the census tracts within the boundaries of the Kansas City Public School District:

    Total population: 192,692
    Race:
      White only: 87,765 (46%)
      Black only: 80,627 (41%)
So my guesstimate was pretty much spot on.
