It’s OurTurn,Wichita.

Previous bold decisions by Wichita voters have transformed our schools and strengthened our community. Now it’s our turn to ensure our kids are prepared for what comes next.

A Bond Pays for That

They’reCountingon Us.

Wichita kids can dream it, work for it and grow into it — but they cannot vote for it. You can. This is our responsibility and our moment to act.

Because in Wichita,
we take care of our own.

Ready to VoteYes Yes?

Your ballot has two questions on the $615 million school bond. The way they’re linked is important — and YES on both is what gets Wichita kids the schools they need.

Question 01Vote YES

Rebuild what we have.

$407.1M

Question 1 is the bond's foundation — district-wide infrastructure, safety upgrades, preservation work, school rebuilds, and a new Trades Future Ready Center for career training. Funded by continuing the existing school mill levy, so your property tax rate stays exactly where it is today.

What this means for you

No change to your tax rate.

Question 02Vote YES

Reimagine what’s next.

$207.9M

Question 2 is the bond's strategic piece — three campus repurposings, expanded career-and-technical programs at four high schools, two more rebuilds, and additional preservation. Funded by a small mill-levy increase that costs about $4.16 a month on a $200,000 home.

What this means for you

≈ $4.16 / month on a $200K home.

But that’s not all

If they both pass,every USD 259 school sees an improvement.

When the full bond passes, it pays for the big rebuilds, campus repurposings, K-8 conversions, and infrastructure work at specific buildings. That frees up district operating funds — the dollars that would have gone to those repairs — to flow into every other USD 259 school. Classroom upgrades, equipment, day-to-day fixes. No campus is left out.

District-wide impactEvery
school.YES on Q1 + Q2 → targeted rebuilds + freed operating funds → improvements across all of USD 259.

The key thing to know

If Question 1 fails, Question 2 is automatically denied — no matter how it's voted.

Q1 can pass on its own — the mill levy continues and Q1's improvements move forward, but Q2's don't. To get the full bond — every project on both lists — both have to pass. YES on Q1 unlocks Q2.
