Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated incumbents to win seats on the Wichita school board in Tuesday's election, according to unofficial results.
Board president Diane Albert and District 2 member Julie Hedrick were reelected. A retired teacher and a public education activist ousted incumbents to win seats on the Wichita school board Tuesday.
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.
