💙🤍 SELF-DIRECTED. SELF-DIRECTED. 🤍💙

These students are learning to lead themselves toward the people they want to become! 🌟 Being self-directed means taking ownership of their choices, setting goals, making positive decisions, and taking steps toward their future.

At GPA, we believe our students have the power to shape their own success. We’re proud to watch them grow into confident, responsible leaders who change the trajectory of their lives 💪📚

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.
