Bel Aire questions answered during community meetings
The Wichita Public Schools hosted two community meetings to reach out to the citizens of Bel Aire and northeast Wichita.  Board of Education members and district administrators were available to discuss the future of the district in the Bel Aire community and to answer questions.   

Community members received facts about the recent Bel Aire City Council discussion concerning school district boundaries, growth in the northeast section of the district’s service area and plans to accommodate that growth, and challenges for the future.

On Sept. 18, the Bel Aire City Council passed a resolution to create a one-district community, with Wichita Public Schools serving that community.

The proposed boundary changes approved by the Wichita Board on Sept. 24 include the entire community of Bel Aire. In addition, the district’s request will include Jabara Airport to the south and along K-254 to the north. The district would like to include Jabara Airport because of a possible opportunity to become part of Sedgwick County’s Technical Education and Training Authority’s master plan. The proposed expansion to the north is in anticipation of future growth of the Bel Aire community.

The Wichita Public Schools serves more than 800 students living in the city of Bel Aire.
