Valentine residents are invited to join the Roanoke neighborhood to learn about the April 8 vote on school bonds. According to the Kansas City School District, “This General Obligation (GO) Bond will go to voters on April 8, 2025 and aims to transform school facilities districtwide. The initiative includes constructing new schools, enhancing safety measures, and upgrading learning environments to meet modern educational needs. The recommendations for facility improvements are grounded in feedback from students, families, staff, and community members gathered through a comprehensive facilities assessment and engagement process. This proposal reflects KCPS’s commitment to creating equitable, safe, and high-quality learning spaces for all students while aligning with the district’s long–term strategic Blueprint 2030 plan.”

You can get more information and ask questions at a meeting at Scott Burnett’s home, 3719 Jarboe, on Saturday, March 22 at 9:30 a.m. Shannon Jaax will be there to discuss the bonds.
