KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- We're getting more information on how Tuesday's ruling in Jackson County could impact local taxing entities. A judge ruled that taxpayers should have no more than a 15% increase in their property assessments from 2022 to 2023. That could impact entities like Kansas City Publi c Schools (KCPS).

Her district's educating voters on the GO Bond coming up April 8th. FOX4 asked her whether Tuesday's ruling could impact the amount of projects the district's able to do if voters approve Tuesday's bond. "We're hoping not, but potentially it could, depending on how things play out," Dr. Collier said. "So once again, we're watching it. As soon as we know what that impact would be, if there would be one, we are definitely going to share that out with the public because we think it's important for people to know." On Wednesday afternoon, FOX4 had not heard back from Jackson County, Mo. on whether they plan to appeal Tuesday's ruling. Tuesday, Republican Legislator Sean Smith was critical of White. He said the county legislature had told White that the 2023 assessment process was done wrong in their eyes. White has disagreed, though. "He ignored it," Smith said of White, talking about the legislature's opinion. "He used taxpayer money to continue to appeal the process, which has caused more harm, people getting foreclosed on, and cities and counties and school districts that relied on us to get these numbers right who now are going to have to see money clawed back from them probably." Smith's statement about money being clawed back from school districts triggered questions of KCPS. The district's asking voters for $474 million in bond money that would address security, deferred maintenance like Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, along with improvements to KCPS' gyms.

Public Relations Coordinator Shain Bergan says the average home in the district is valued at $180,000. Prior to Tuesday's ruling, the district had said every school would receive at least $5 million in funding. There are 33 schools in the district. "That's hard to say right now what that will look like," Dr. Collier said when asked if she felt like the district had enough money in reserves if money was actually taken away from KCPS.  "One of the reasons is with our reserve funds, we use that to live on as a district each year, so I shared earlier on a news broadcast that the funding formula that comes from the state, it goes to charters. It doesn't come to the district, so we don't receive anything from the state. What we live on as a district are the property taxes for everything." A document FOX4 reviewed from August from Democratic County Executive Frank White to KCPS said the State Tax Commission (STC's) order could impact KCPS by more than $18 million. School Board Member Monica Curls says if property assessments get rolled back, that may actually help the school district get their bond passed. "Any option of either roll back or capping those increases should actually be more reassuring to voters so that they know that we're not going to have these 68% and 150% increases like some people experienced in 2023," Curls said. KCPS needs 4/7ths or 57.15% of voters to say yes to the bond for it to pass, not just a simple majority of 50.00000000000001%. ...read more read less
