When we talk about how the bond could affect property taxes, we use the median Wichita home value — just over $200,000 — as our common example.

Question 1 asks voters to approve $407.1 million in bonds. If this passes, the tax rate stays exactly where it is today. Homeowners would not see any increase in what they currently pay, unless their property valuation increases.

Question 2 asks voters to approve $207.9 million in bonds. If this passes, the property tax rate would increase, adding about $50 a year — just $4.16 a month — for the owner of a $200,000 home compared to what they're paying now.

We've heard from the community throughout this process, and $50 a year is a threshold that a majority of Wichitans have told us they'd support.

Here's what that looks like across a range of home values. Wichita Public Schools

Wichita Public SchoolsWhy do schools need to issue bonds for school improvements? Bond issues are how school districts pay for new facilities and major building improvements.

Capital funds are limited and are meant for minor repairs or smaller building improvements. There is not enough money in capital to pay for new facilities.

Bond funding would free up existing capital funds that are currently being used on major repairs, allowing WPS to address facility needs across all buildings. This means bond funds indirectly help all of our buildings.

More information about the bond can be found at wpsbond.org. Escuelas Públicas de Wichita
