Wichita Public Schools' bond election is Tuesday. See how, when and where to vote
Wichita Public Schools' bond election is almost here. Voters will vote Tuesday on whether to approve a $450 million bond proposal that would close four elementary schools and two administration centers, rebuild seven elementary and middle schools and convert two elementary schools to K-8 schools. It would also consolidate alternative programs and build a new Future Ready Center for Trades at East High School, a new early childhood education center and new outdoor athletic fields at Northeast Magnet High School. While the issue would use a 7.5-mill levy a year to pay off the bonds, that amount is already paid by homeowners to go toward bonds passed in 2008. If approved, that mill levy will shift to paying off 2025's bond issue. If homeowners vote no, the mill levy would drop after 2008's bonds expire. Here's what to know about casting your vote Tuesday, Feb. 25. Anyone living in the Wichita school district can cast their vote in the bond election. The Wichita school district spans outside of Wichita, too, to parts of Kechi, Bel Aire and Park City. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
