Wichita Public Schools is committed to maximizing every available funding source to support students, staff and schools across the district. Jackson Elementary School is anticipated to receive $820,000 to upgrade HVAC controls, optimize HVAC throughout the building, and upgrade LED lighting through a federal energy grant. Funding through grants and bonds help improve more schools across Wichita! Learn more about improvements at our school at wpsbond.usd259.org/school-impacts.

In addition to the WPS bond proposal, the district has a five-year Capital Improvement Plan to address ongoing facility needs at all schools. If the 2026 Wichita Public Schools bond passes, capital funds would be used at Jackson Elementary School to replace a FEMA shelter door, upgrade dimmable lighting, and replace chiller and boiler piping over the next five years. Without the bond, these projects may take more than five years to complete. Learn how this bond will impact all WPS buildings at wpsbond.org.
