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.

Yes + Yes

The full $615M bond — every project on both lists is funded.

Sample Ballot · USD 259

Question 1$407.1M

Rebuild what we have.

YesNo

District-wide infrastructure, safety upgrades, school rebuilds, and a new Trades Future Ready Center — funded by continuing the existing mill levy.

No change to your tax rate.

Question 2$207.9M

Reimagine what’s next.

YesNo

Campus repurposings, expanded career-and-technical programs at four high schools, two more rebuilds, and additional preservation.

≈ $4.16 / month on a $200K home.

No on Q1

Question 2 is denied automatically — nothing on either list moves forward.

Automatically denied

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.

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.
