A bond referendum will be under discussion at a special meeting of the Kansas City, Kan., Board of Education at 3 p.m. Thursday, March 31, in the third floor board room of the Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools Central Office and Training Center, 2010 N. 59th St., Kansas City, Kan.
The referendum is just in the discussion stage currently.
The school board received a facilities need study presentation in February and voted to have the chief financial officer come back with more detailed information to help them make a decision on whether they wanted to have a bond referendum, a school district spokesman said.
The study showed that 31 of the district buildings were age 51 and older, and 18 buildings were 41 to 50 years old, according to the spokesman. The buildings may need renovations, remodeling, painting, flooring, technology, fixtures and equipment.
The district and board currently are trying to determine the best ways to address the needs of those buildings, the spokesman said.
