The Wichita Public Schools are proud to be a part of a community that values education, its children and its future.  We encourage all of our customers – you, the members of our community – to take an active role in the education of our young people.  This starts by better understanding the many aspects of our community schools.

Because we know you value responsible financial management, we want to help all community members better understand the Wichita Public Schools’ budget.  To help put all the facts and figures into perspective, we’ve created this easy-to-read Budget-at-a-Glance.  This summary will help you understand where your schools get their funding, how those funds are spent and how we stack up to our neighboring districts and peer districts around the state.

The Wichita Public Schools want to continue to honor our community’s values and priorities as demonstrated through sound financial practices.  That is why we involve members of our community in our budget creation process every year.  With your advice and counsel, we build a budget that reflects your input so we can meet your expectations.
