District news
What’s new in R-7
Voters approve $225 million Lee's Summit R-7 bond
Voters approved a $225 million no-tax-rate-increase bond on April 8, 2025. It funds new buildings for Greenwood and Hazel Grove elementaries ($44.5 million each), a sixth-grade addition and renovation at Pleasant Lea Middle School, Miller Park Center improvements, high school field upgrades and $72 million in districtwide maintenance.
Aerospace Academy moves into Lee's Summit airport hangar
Summit Technology Academy’s Aerospace Academy, a two-year program for juniors and seniors with college credit through the University of Central Missouri, moved from the Missouri Innovation Campus to Hangar 2 at Lee’s Summit Municipal Airport. The $1.2 million classroom was a 2025 bond project built in partnership with the City of Lee’s Summit.
District projects $7 million to $10 million budget shortfall
The district projected a 2026-27 operating revenue shortfall of $7 million to $10 million, citing lower local, state and federal funding, including Jackson County residential property tax credits. Town halls were held September 1 and 8 at the Stansberry Leadership Center ahead of a board vote on the district’s voluntary tax levy rollback.
Board rescinds 40 cents of voluntary tax levy rollback
On September 29, 2026, the board voted to rescind 40 cents of the 65-cent voluntary property tax rollback in place since 2023, effective in December. The combined district levy is now $5.3708, and the district had said keeping the full rollback could mean cutting 175 to 225 positions for 2027-28.
