Prop S Information
Proposition S would fund 39 priority projects
Springfield voters will be asked April 2 to consider a $168 million bond proposal to fund 39 high-priority projects, which were recommended by a citizen’s task force to make our schools safer and stronger for students and staff.
The projects will renovate or reconstruct 6 schools, create safer entrances at 31 schools, plus add classroom space to expand preschool.
While Kickapoo is not directly receiving funds one of our feeder schools, Carver, will be one
of the schools to receive the addition of a secure entrance.
Projects that would be funded by Proposition S include:
- Secure entrances will be built or renovated at 31 schools including Carver MS.
- Renovation at Sunshine and Williams elementary schools and Hillcrest High School will address accessibility and security challenges, in addition to other improvements.
- New schools will be constructed for Boyd and Delaware elementary schools and Jarrett Middle School, fixing all security and accessibility issues.
- New storm shelters will be added to Boyd, Delaware, Williams and Sunshine elementary schools, Jarrett Middle School and the southwest early childhood center.
- Classroom space will be added to expand preschool services in the district.
These school improvements would cost less than 10 cents a day in additional property taxes for a home with a market value of $100,000. This proposal requests an 18-cent increase to the debt-service levy, which would be phased in over two years: 9 cents in 2019 and an additional 9 cents in 2020.

The GO CAPS Application is open and can be found here: https://gocaps.yourcapsnetwork.org/enrollment/.
I advise you to go ahead and apply; however, when you do, please make sure that you are detailed in your answers and you use good grammar and punctuation. Remember, the application committee does not know you so you want to share your story and intentions the best you can!

We typically find out who made it into GO CAPS in Early April. Students will need to go ahead and schedule GO CAPS as half their day when they are doing their 2019-2020 scheduling with Kickapoo. Students get to choose if they want AM or PM, but also have to make it work with the classes they are needing to take at Kickapoo.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
