Exit poll shows why Wichita supported school bonds, exposes trust gap | Opinion

What a difference a year and a half makes. Of all the things that happened in the Nov. 3 election, one of the most surprising, important and far-reaching results was the successful campaign for school bonds in Wichita’s USD 259. It probably hasn’t gotten the attention it deserved. Most of the public attention on election night and since has focused on the blue wave that swept across the state, unseating incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall in favor of United Methodist pastor Adam Hamilton.

In February of last year, voters rejected a plan to borrow and spend $450 million for new construction of a Trades Future Ready Center and renovation of aging buildings across the district. On Nov. 3, the voters approved two ballot questions adding up to $615 million — $165 million more than the district’s original ask. And we now have some insights into why
