Alas, I have no job, no money, and no takers on my "deal of a lifetime" to accompany me to the games.
Should I take the job in western Kansas that will leave me miles away from my family and Arrowhead or should I hold out for the other three school districts that are closer to KC and my family but haven't gotten back to me, and probably won't until the last minute if at all?

Hold out for the districts you wish to get into. Worse case scenario is, you Substitute in one of those (or all of those) districts next year; network, get your foot in the door...you'll get a job next year for sure.
Best case scenario, this summer or a last minute resignation by a teacher currently employed by the district....will open a spot for you before the year begins. Depending on the specific districts you are talking about, I'd be willing to bet you'd have a job before the year starts....2:1 odds you'll get something before the beginning of September.
