Fort Osage School District

The Fort Osage School District is a suburban district located in eastern Jackson County that serves a diverse population of approximately 5,000 students. The district's mission is: Together with parents and the community, we prepare all students to be successful in life. We live our mission by providing a caring environment coupled with high expectations to meet the individual needs of all students. Teachers consistently use technology, problem-based learning, innovative practices, and standards-based grading to assist students in reaching their full potential. Teachers are involved in many professional development opportunities, and the mentoring program supports our new teachers.

The Fort Osage School District's Board of Education works to ensure a strong fund balance so that we can offer competitive salaries and benefits for all of our staff. We offer fully paid health insurance, long-term disability insurance and a $50,000 life insurance policy. There are also many voluntary benefits available.
