Show Notes
Hickman Mills School District in Kansas City faces a $14 million budget shortfall, leading to job and program cuts. On April 7th, voters decide on two ballot measures: a $20 million general obligation bond and a tax levy transfer. These aim to reduce debt without raising taxes. The bond would allow the district to borrow against future property taxes, freeing up money for operations. The levy transfer would shift extra cash to the everyday budget. District leaders and some teachers support the measures, while a few board members face re-election. The district recently cut over 70 jobs and programs to save money. Past bonds have passed, and these votes could bring real relief if they pass.
