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.

In addition to the WPS bond proposal, the district has a five-year Capital Improvement Plan to address ongoing facility needs at all schools. If the 2026 Wichita Public Schools bond passes, capital funds would be used at Levy Special Education Center to replace sliding doors at the front entry, replace eight sections of roof, and upgrade intercoms over the next five years. Without the bond, these projects may take more than five years to complete. Learn how this bond will impact all WPS buildings at wpsbond.org. Wichita Public Schools Escuelas Públicas de Wichita

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. Wichita Public Schools
