On November 3rd, voters in the Wichita school district will decide whether to approve a $615 million dollar bond issue that would build new schools and improve others across the district.

KMUW education reporter Daniel Caudill spoke with Wichita Superintendent Kelly Bielefeld about the bond … and some of the community’s most pressing questions.
