Olathe Public Schools Approve Fee Hikes and Bond Sales for Infrastructure Upgrades
The Olathe Public Schools board has recently greenlit several key changes for the upcoming years. These include a hike in student fees starting next school year, with increases ranging from $5 to $25 for various services such as textbooks, transportation, and meals. The board also approved the sale of $389 million in bonds, which will be used to fund building projects over the next two to three years.
In addition, the board set a cap of over 2,400 seats for out-of-district students for the 2026-2027 academic year, in line with Kansass new open enrollment rules. Families can apply for fee waivers or reductions based on income. The board also discussed upgrades using the 2022 bond funds, including replacing old devices, renovating media centers, and repairing facilities. These changes aim to balance costs with community-backed improvements while ensuring equal opportunities for all students.
