A reason for hope . . .
Kansas City has a proud tradition of rejecting school bonds because of widespread dissatisfaction with rising taxes and the management of the district.
Throughout this election we can expect journalists to constantly note a 58 year win streak for taxpayers and chide local voters by noting that KCPS hasn't passed a bond measure since 1967.
Like that's a bad thing.
However . . .
Anything can happen in a low turnout election. Accordingly, the civic elite are using all of their resources to push this tax that will mostly fund building development.
Check the call to action . . .
"The Downtown Council Board of Directors, at the January board meeting, voted unanimously to endorse the $474M GO Bond campaign to renovate buildings and make facility improvements for the Kansas City Public School District. If passed, KCPS would receive $424M and 9 charter schools would receive $50M. Voting will take place on April 8, 2025. If passed, the bond would cost taxpayers 64 cents/day for homes valued at $200,000 and raise $474M to support the schools."
