Two Challengers Defeat Incumbents for Seats on Wichita School Board

A retired teacher and a public education activist ousted incumbents to win seats on the Wichita school board Tuesday.
District 5 Race
Amy Jensen narrowly defeated conservative board member Kathy Bond in a District 5 race that focused heavily on Wichita’s failed bond issue.
Bond was the only board member to oppose the $450 million bond issue, which voters narrowly rejected in February.
"I think public education won tonight," Jensen said. "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 campaigned in favor of another bond issue to rebuild and repair schools.
