(MSC News)--Voters in two northeast Kansas school districts will head to the polls Tuesday to decide on bond measures for facility improvements.

In Jefferson West USD 340, residents will consider a 17-and-a-half million dollar bond to fund upgrades across all district facilities. 

The plan includes classroom additions, safety and security enhancements, HVAC and electrical improvements, and the construction of a new track.  This follows the rejection of a larger 21 million dollar bond by voters in November of 2024. 
Meanwhile, Onaga USD 322 voters will see two questions on the ballot. The first would authorize up to 10 million dollars to build a new elementary wing with a storm shelter, renovate the multi-purpose room, and update plumbing and restrooms at the middle and high schools. 

The second question, which depends on approval of the first, asks voters to authorize up to 2 million dollars for additional upgrades. These include HVAC improvements at the middle school and north gym, replacement of high school windows, new roofs for the middle school and commons area, and minor locker room updates. 

Polling locations are the Onaga Community Center for USD 322 voters and St. Aloysius Church in Meriden for Jefferson West USD 340 voters. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
