Dr. Cynthia Lane — Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Cynthia Lane is the 12th superintendent to lead the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools since the schools in Wyandotte County were consolidated in 1886. She replaced Dr. Jill Ann Shackelford, who retired in June, 2010, after serving as superintendent for five years.
Dr. Lane is in her 23rd year with KCKPS. In that time, she has served in a number of roles, including as a special education teacher, a principal, director of the Wyandotte Comprehensive Special Education Cooperative, and as an Assistant Superintendent. In her previous position as Assistant Superintendent for Instruction and Business, she has had the responsibility for guiding the district's ongoing work to strengthen instruction, and has also helped the system navigate through the State of Kansas's current fiscal crisis.
Lane has a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in behavior disorders from Pittsburg State University. She earned her doctorate in special education from the University of Kansas in 1999.
