The Warrensburg School District is proposing a Bond on the April 2025 ballot to maintain the current tax levy. The $16.5 million bond issue will focus on:

1. Early Childhood Center Renovation

   • Expansion of full-day preschool (capacity for 60 additional students)

   • Relocation of programs from Ridge View & Maple Grove to Woods building, which we are renting

   • New space for bus parking and storage

2. Infrastructure Improvements

   • Roof replacements across multiple buildings

   • HVAC system upgrades to replace aging equipment

This initiative addresses our current challenges, including:

• Overcrowded elementary schools (two buildings exceeding 100% capacity)

• Growing preschool waiting list

• Limited facilities for expansion

• Increasing demand for affordable childcare

• Anticipated growth from WAFB expansion

If approved, this bond will maintain our current debt service levy at $0.82 per $100 of assessed valuation.

Our early childhood focus builds on our recent recognition as the 2024 Early Childhood Education Program of the Year for Midsized Districts and aims to further strengthen our commitment to early learning..
