How Lebo-Waverly schools are governed and funded

One district serving two communities

A locally elected Board of Education governs schools in Lebo and Waverly. It adopts the budget, policies, calendars, staffing, curriculum, and facilities plans.

Two communities

The district operates elementary and secondary schools in both Lebo and Waverly.

Funding

Kansas formula aid and local property taxes support operations; the collected records do not reproduce a complete current budget.

Spending gap

The records do not state a complete district spending-per-student figure.

Current priorities

Facilities and a possible bond, science resources, student-device rules, and daycare recur across the records.

The board has authorized bond planning, but no final project list, bond amount, or election date appears in the collected records.
