Dear Salthawk Community,
As our community prepares for the upcoming bond election, our goal is to provide you with clear, accurate information regarding the proposed facility improvements and how the district plans to manage your public investments.

Below is a brief breakdown of how the project budget is structured and the protections in place for our local taxpayers.
When planning major renovations across multiple school buildings, our community wants to know two things:
How are the tax dollars being managed?
And how do we protect our investment?

Of the $36 million bond, about 85% ($30.7 million) is dedicated to hard construction costs. This pays for the actual physical improvements, like storm shelters, new roofs, updated heating and cooling systems, and safer buildings. The remaining balance covers professional fees, planning, and equipment.

A key protection for taxpayers is how the construction will be managed. The district is using a method called Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR). Under CMAR, once the design is finished, the builder must commit to a guaranteed maximum price before major construction begins.
This method provides two protections under Kansas law:
β€’ Cost overrun protection: The construction manager is responsible for costs above the guaranteed maximum price, except for costs resulting from changes to the project plans.
β€’ Savings stay with the district: If the project is completed under the guaranteed price, all savings are returned to the school district.
This approach is designed to help keep construction costs within budget.

We believe that transparency is essential throughout this planning process. Our commitment is to ensure that every resident has the facts needed to make an informed decision at the ballot box.

Join Hutchinson Public Schools for a School Bond Community Meeting to learn more about the proposed $36 million, 12-year bond and the projects it would support across USD 308.

The bond focuses on improving the schools and facilities we already have and includes no new buildings. Proposed projects focus on key needs throughout the district, including safety and security improvements, HVAC and roofing projects, and food service improvements.

These informal meetings are an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and share your thoughts. Knowledgeable USD 308 staff will be available to answer questions, and attendees can view maps, see additional project details, and learn more about the work proposed at schools throughout the district.

Whether you have specific questions or simply want to be informed before Election Day, we invite you to stop by.

Events will be held each Wednesday this October.
October 14: held at HMS 7, 210 East Ave. A
October 21 and 28: held at HCTEA, 800 E. 15th Circle.

All events start at 6:00pm and are a come and go style of event.

Light refreshments will be served. Learn more at www.usd308.com/bond

Here are a few glimpses into the great work that happens at Allen to meet students where they are each and every day. Students who need it receive breaks and one on one support in and outside of the classroom. Students who need reading and math support receive it in small groups during tier time. These are just a few of the small ways that our teachers, paras and Horizons staff work together to move learning forward. πŸ’™πŸ’›
