Paying off these leases through the bond allows the district to focus on long-term maintenance instead of reacting to emergencies.
Here’s what this means for McPherson schools:
- More money for preventive maintenance – nearly $400,000 per year can now go toward replacing systems before they fail.
- Fewer emergencies – planned work reduces costly disruptions to classrooms and learning.
- Stronger facilities – HVAC, activity spaces, and other systems will be safe, reliable, and ready for students.
- Better use of taxpayer dollars – combining this step with the bond plan maximizes impact and efficiency.
By including these leases in the bond, McPherson Public Schools can break the cycle of deferred maintenance and continue building strong schools where students stay inspired every day.
