On the April 6 ballot
Proposition S is the Ray-Pec School District's $72 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue on the April 6 ballot.

The Junior College District of Kansas City, also known as Metropolitan Community College, has an issue on the ballot that references the Raymore-Peculiar district boundaries. The MCC ballot issue is not from the school district.
