Springfield voters will be asked April 4 to approve a 24-cent increase to Springfield Public Schools' debt-service levy to fund critical school improvements identified by SPS' Facility Master Plan.
For students, the proposed projects will provide quality learning spaces that support engaging, relevant and personal learning experiences necessary to prepare them for their success in school and beyond as they transition from students to future leaders in our community and workforce.
If approved, Proposition SPS will fund improvements at these 19 schools:
Over the next few weeks, many of our schools will be hosting informational meetings for their communities about Proposition SPS. As they announce those dates, we hope you will make plans to attend. Our goal for these meetings is to capture any questions you may have so we can provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision on election day.
If you don't have the opportunity to attend an in-person meeting, a great 24/7 resource for information is our Frequently Asked Questions page. Check this page frequently as it will be continuously updated. You may also watch a video of Superintendent John Jungmann presenting information about Proposition SPS.
