Wichita School Board

Four years ago, the Wichita district employed a hybrid voting model that let voters across the district weigh in on school board races. This year, a majority of board members are in district-only races for reelection.

Board president Diane Albert and Mackenzi Truelove were the top vote-getters for the District 1 seat on the Wichita school board. Incumbent Kathy Bond will face retired teacher Amy Jensen in District 5.

Amy Warren, a Wichita parent and volunteer, has raised more money than any other candidate in the race for Wichita Board of Education. She faces incumbent Hazel Stabler in the District 6 race in November.

Four people are running for the District 1 seat on the Wichita school board, and five people are running in District 5. An Aug. 5 primary will narrow each field to two.

June 1 was the filing deadline for local elections. Candidates in some races will face off in a primary Aug. 5.

The district's one-year deal with United Teachers of Wichita would raise teacher salaries by 3%. Teachers would keep their current health insurance plans and premiums.

Candidates for the USD 259 Board of Education discuss the impact of COVID-19 on education; finding and retaining teachers; learning loss, and mental health issues for students and staff.
