Kansas schools ask voters to approve multi-million bonds
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Voters in two Kansas school districts will decide on millions of dollars in improvements on Tuesday.
In Augusta, residents will decide whether to approve $55 million for USD 402. The money would improve safety and security at all schools, expand fine arts facilities, build career and tech education classrooms, and modernize Augusta High School. The district says it will not increase the mill levy. Click here for more information on the bond.
Further west, in Ness County, voters in USD 303 will decide on a $24 million bond. It comes with a 29 mill increase to the current property tax rate. If passed, the bond will fund construction of a new gymnasium, a connector between the district's elementary and high school buildings, a new weight room, and ADA and security upgrades to school entrances.
