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.

When you vote in the Nov. 3 election, be sure to go to the end of the ballot where you will find the WPS bond election questions.
Question 1 is listed as USD 259 Proposition No. 1, and question 2 is listed as USD 259 Proposition No. 2.

Remember: Question 2 can't pass unless Question 1 passes. Wichita Public SchoolsEscuelas Públicas de Wichita

Hello Awesome Parents and Care Givers! We are gearing up for our first ever Lev Talks! We look forward to seeing you all here, dinner provided!

Levy is excited to bring forth a new initiative entitled LEV Talks. The goal is to connect professionals and resources with parents, community, and staff in order to help better serve our students and their families. We are looking forward to hosting Dr. Grant in October as part one of a two part series. We will open this to Levy families only at this time, but perhaps it will grow in the future.

The WPS bond issue is divided into two questions. Voters have the option to choose Question 1, or Question 1 and Question 2. Question 1 needs to pass for Question 2 to pass.

📌 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.Wichita Public Schools Escuelas Públicas de Wichita
