I am thrilled to announce that our 2024 Sinking Fund passed!!! Thank you to everyone that helped spread the word and all of our community members that voted.
We have several remaining projects with the 2019-2024 funds this year (Middle School AC unit by spring break, Townsend windows by spring break, paving all lots and drives in June). We are excited to be able to begin planning much needed improvement projects with our 2025-2029 Sinking Fund. Again, thank you all!!
Proud to be a Jayhawk!
Respectfully,
Melissa Bradfield
