VCS Election Information -- May 5, 2026

The Vicksburg Community Schools Board of Education unanimously approved placing a $64.135 Million bond proposal on the May 5, 2026 ballot.

The VCS bond proposal is projected to NOT raise current tax levels and is designed to strengthen safety and enhance student learning opportunities districtwide.

A few highlights include:

Safe Entryways & Technology Upgrades: Secure vestibules and updated systems to further enhance safety for students and staff.
Outdoor Education Center: Hands-on opportunities for science, environmental studies, and real-world learning.
Transportation Garage: Supports safety, and operational efficiency.
Performing Arts Center: Expanded opportunities for arts education, collaboration, and student confidence.
Auxiliary Gym & Tennis Courts: Enhanced practice and competition facilities for VCS athletic programs and community groups.

This proposal builds on the foundation established by the 2020 bond which, thanks to our community, provided air conditioning to all of our schools, updated bathrooms, flooring, and lighting; delivered a new football field and other important facility improvements. If approved by the voters, the May 2026 bond, like the 2020 bond, would be balanced and student-focused while enhancing student experiences and helping to secure our schools.
