The Haysville school district said it will be able to undergo the bond without raising the mill levy

There’s just unanswered questions but I have a fourth grader at Rex (Elementary School) and a 10th grader at Campus.”
“I’m voting ‘no’ because my children are already through school
I’ve paid for it once; I don’t want to pay for it three times,” said Haysville voter Craig Sheldon
Others agree with the district and think improvements are necessary
“The updates should definitely happen because the buildings are very old
it’s providing for the children and that’s what they need,” said Haysville voter Laila Pagan
Fellow Haysville voter Nona Vandamme also spoke in support of the bond even though she doesn’t have any children in the district
“I don’t have kids in school but we still have to take care of the other kids,” she said
“[The bond isn’t] going to raise the mill levy
