“Year after year, we are grateful to the parents, patrons, and JPS employees for supporting these bond issues,” stated Dr. Stacey Butterfield, Superintendent of Jenks Public Schools. “The passage of these bonds allows our schools to continue to provide essential resources for our students, while upgrading and expanding our facilities to continuously improve and set all students up to succeed. This is common practice at JPS, but it is never something we take for granted. We simply could not do what we do without the unwavering support of this entire community. Thank you!”
