"🏫 A look at current facility conditions at Centralia: building accessibility
As part of sharing information about the 2026 School Bond on the Nov 3rd ballot, we’re looking at accessibility across our buildings. Accessibility has been one of the central factors in the facility planning behind the bond.
The Centralia school building presents real accessibility challenges. Several key spaces, including the storm shelter, a high school special education classroom, a history classroom, the locker rooms, the art room, and the agriculture education classroom, are spread across four different levels that are not connected in any single location. Because these spaces sit on separate levels with no shared connection point, a single elevator cannot solve the problem.
The storm shelter is located down two flights of stairs. For anyone who cannot use stairs, reaching it requires significant assistance — a situation that affects not only students, but also staff, families, and community members during events such as athletic competitions or academic banquets, including elderly or mobility-limited guests.
Accessibility needs can arise for anyone, at any time whether it be a permanent need, or a temporary one such as a student on crutches or a scooter after an injury. Ensuring every student and community member can safely access learning spaces and shelter is a need the district must be able to meet. The bond addresses accessibility across the building, providing accessible classrooms, gym, and locker rooms for all students and community members. On the Frankfort side, accessibility is also addressed through the playground and the locker-room building connection.

"SCHOOL BOND FAQ: Why can't the district just pay for these projects? Why is a bond necessary? Capital Outlay is the only portion of a school
district’s annual budget used to build, maintain or improve facilities. These funds are used for annual maintenance and replacement of HVAC
units, carpet, transportation, and equipment. The maximum the state allows for Capital Outlay budgets is 8 mills. Even if the school district maxed
theirs out (currently it’s at 7 mills), it would not generate enough income to pay for large projects. Also, the State of Kansas discourages school districts
from building large cash reserves, as annual funds are encouraged to be used for students today. This limits their ability to save for major projects for the
future. A bond is the only path to address a district’s major facility needs. The School Bond is on the Nov 3rd ballot. "
