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.



Cuando hablamos de cómo el bono podría afectar los impuestos sobre la propiedad, usamos como ejemplo el valor promedio de una vivienda en Wichita, que es de poco más de $200,000.

La Pregunta 1 pide a los votantes aprobar $407.1 millones en bonos. Si se aprueba, la tasa de impuestos se mantendría exactamente igual que ahora. Los propietarios de viviendas no pagarían más de lo que pagan actualmente, a menos que aumente el valor de tasación de su propiedad.

La Pregunta 2 pide a los votantes aprobar $207.9 millones en bonos. Si se aprueba, la tasa de impuestos sobre la propiedad aumentaría. Para el propietario de una vivienda con un valor de $200,000, esto representaría aproximadamente $50 más al año, o solo $4.16 al mes, en comparación con lo que paga actualmente.

A lo largo de este proceso hemos escuchado las opiniones de nuestra comunidad, y la mayoría de los residentes de Wichita que participaron nos dijeron que estarían dispuestos a apoyar un aumento de hasta $50 al año.

The WPS bond issue is divided into two questions. Question 2 can only pass if Question 1 passes.

📌 If Question 1 passes, the tax rate would remain the same. A homeowner would not see an increase to what they currently pay, unless their property valuation increases.
📌 If Question 2 passes, the tax rate would increase with an anticipated impact of an additional $50 a year ($4.16 a month) for the owner of a $200,000 home compared to what is being paid today.

The district recommended a bond referendum based on school and community feedback. More information can be found at wpsbond.org.


La propuesta de bonos de las Escuelas Públicas de Wichita está dividida en dos preguntas. La Pregunta 2 solo puede aprobarse si se aprueba la Pregunta 1.
📌 Si se aprueba la Pregunta 1, la tasa de impuestos permanecería igual. Los propietarios de vivienda no verían un aumento en lo que pagan actualmente, a menos que aumente el valor tasado de su propiedad.
📌 Si se aprueba la Pregunta 2, la tasa de impuestos aumentaría. Para el propietario de una vivienda con un valor de $200,000, se estima un aumento de $50 al año ($4.16 al mes), en comparación con lo que paga actualmente.
El distrito recomendó someter la propuesta de bonos a votación tomando en cuenta las opiniones y comentarios recibidos de las escuelas y la comunidad.

Why 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.



¿Por qué los distritos escolares necesitan emitir bonos para realizar mejoras en sus escuelas? La emisión de bonos es la manera en que los distritos escolares financian la construcción de nuevas instalaciones y proyectos de mejoras mayores en sus edificios.
El presupuesto de capital es limitado y está destinado a reparaciones menores y proyectos de menor escala. Los recursos disponibles en este presupuesto no son suficientes para financiar la construcción de nuevas instalaciones.
Los fondos del bono permitirían que recursos del presupuesto de capital que actualmente se destinan a reparaciones mayores puedan utilizarse para atender otras necesidades en las instalaciones de todo el distrito. Esto significa que, de manera indirecta, los fondos del bono benefician a todas nuestras escuelas y edificios.

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.
