On June 1, the Board of Education will consider putting a bond proposal on the November ballot. More information can be found at wpsbond.org.

What is a bond?
• A bond is similar to how a family might take out a mortgage to buy or renovate a home. A bond is how school districts in Kansas pay for major building and facility projects, as the district’s capital budget is intended to cover smaller repairs and predictive and preventative maintenance.

• In Kansas, a school bond must be approved by voters. If approved, the district repays the bond over time using local property taxes.

• A bond is used for long-term investments in buildings and infrastructure. It can’t be used for day-to-day school expenses such as paying teacher salaries or other operational expenses.

For five years, we’ve been strengthening the foundation of 100+ year-old Wichita High School North USD 259 — and it’s no small task.

Hutton crews installed 400-pound steel beams by hand beneath the original east side of the building to extend the life of this historic building – and the work is still ongoing. Thanks to modern engineering and a crew that took pride in every step, this three-story historic building is set to stand strong for years to come.

Even better, John Marshall Middle School/ Familias De La Escuela Marshall Middle School students interested in construction got a behind-the-scenes tour of the tunnels to see the work in action.
