The image presents a question mark against a backdrop of a grid-like pattern, with the text %22DID YOU KNOW%22 and a list of two topics: %22Issue 10 Ballot Language vs. Net Impact%22.

Issue 10 ballot language will read as if collection would begin in 2026. This is not the case.

Lakota will delay collection until 2029, resulting in a lower net impact to taxpayers.

Know the Facts about Lakota's Master Facilities Plan

On Nov. 4, 2025, West Chester and Liberty township residents will see Lakota on the ballot for the first time since 2013 to consider a bond issue and permanent improvement levy to fund the Master Facilities Plan. This follows more than five years of community input, research and planning.

These new funds would be used to:

  • Fix overcrowding & reduce class sizes, especially in K-6 schools.
  • Enhance safety and academic programming for all students.
  • Decrease building transitions from the current four to two.
  • Modernize our schools while phasing out buildings that are more expensive to renovate than to rebuild.
  • Increase shared community space in our schools

Culturally Diverse:

With 42% of students celebrating their multicultural backgrounds, Lakota provides a culturally-diverse experience where respect and inclusion are taught as core values.

Fiscally Responsible:

Fewer than 5% of all entities that are audited annually earn the "Auditor of State Award with Distinction" - and Lakota has received the honor 10 years in a row. 

1:1 Technology:

Through Lakota's WE are Empowered initiative, all students in grades K-12 have access to their own Chromebook for daily learning.

Dogs of Lakota:

Lakota's pack of ten therapy dogs are wagging their tails around the district, providing therapy and emotional support to even our youngest learners. 

The 4Es:

We believe in preparing every student for success after graduation in one of the 4Es: Enrollment in higher education; Enlistment in military service; Employment as a contributing member of our community; or Entrepreneurship.
