Wichita School Board Election Results
Two challengers, Amy Warren and Amy Jensen, have defeated incumbents to secure seats on the Wichita school board, according to unofficial results from Tuesday's election.
Incumbents Diane Albert, the board president, and District 2 member Julie Hedrick were reelected. A notable outcome was Amy Jensen's narrow defeat of conservative board member Kathy Bond in the District 5 race.
I think public education won tonight. I ran on the premise that public education is a good thing, and we need to do everything we can to support our kids and our teachers, and I feel like the voters agreed.
Jensen's campaign focused on supporting another bond issue to rebuild and repair schools, contrasting with Bond, who was the sole board member to oppose the $450 million bond issue that voters rejected in February.
