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. Pending the final count, Democrats also appear to have won the race for governor (Democrat Cindy Holscher vs. Republican Ty Masterson) and attorney general (Democrat Chris Mann vs. incumbent Republican Kris Kobach). Even against that backdrop, and with numerous Democratic upsets in Legislature races up and down the state, the school bond vote was remarkable. 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

Kansas school districts must submit technology-use plans by July 1

School districts must submit a technology-use plan to the Kansas State Department of Education by July 1. With a 6-4 vote, the Kansas State Board of Education on Nov. 9 passed a policy regarding effective use of instructional technology in Kansas schools. The policy’s purpose is to get districts to provide “clear, complete and beneficial information” regarding how their schools use digital devices. “We need to really keep in mind this document is not going to settle and cure all ills,” Board Chair Cathy Hopkins said. “This is a starting place where we are asking districts to have the conversation to build a good plan, so that parents do understand what is your policy and how is that working out in every grade or grade band.” This is the latest step in addressing technology’s role in the school environment after Gov. Laura Kelly in 2026 signed a bill that banned cell phone use in schools , starting with the 2026-27 school year. The board started the process in August with a work session to establish the framework of the proceeding conversation. Officials used Wichita Public Schools’ guide for teachers — Future Ready Learning with Purposeful Technology — as a reference
