Hutchinson Public Schools Proposes $36 Million Bond for November Ballot
Hutchinson Public Schools USD 308 in Kansas is preparing to propose a $36 million bond issue for the November 3 general election ballot. This proposal follows the rejection of a larger $110 million bond measure in 2025, which included plans for a new combined middle school. The revised bond proposal focuses on maintenance and improvements to existing school facilities, as preferred by community feedback. Planned projects include HVAC and roof replacements, playground improvements, safety upgrades, and storm shelters. The largest investment, nearly $12 million, is earmarked for storm shelters and gymnasiums at several elementary schools.
