Wichita Public Schools launch community engagement survey
USD 259 hopes to gain a deeper understanding of public perceptions surrounding school funding, facilities, district communication, and overall community awareness.
'The survey will be a powerful tool for better understanding how our community perceives our schools, how connected they feel to our district, and how deeply they trust us to educate the next generation of workers and leaders,' Superintendent Kelly Bielefeld said.

The district says the feedback will help guide future decision-making, ensuring that resources and strategies align with the community's needs and expectations.
'We want to make sure that our families hear from us, and we want to make sure that we hear from them, and so we want to make sure that we get the data we need to help move forward, so to help make informed decisions to make sure our students are future-ready,' Susan Arensman with USD 259 said.
The survey includes 23 questions and takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete.

Democrat announces campaign for Kansas governor
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Kansas State Senator Ethan Corson announced on Tuesday that he is running for governor. Corson is a Democrat from the Kansas City area. According to his campaign, Corson earned a reputation in the Senate as a bipartisan problem solver focused on kitchen table issues – including stronger public schools, lower taxes for working and middle-class families, and recruiting new businesses to Kansas. 'I've always been laser-focused on the kitchen table issues that matter to Kansans: strong public schools and lower taxes for working and middle-class families,' Corson said in a news release. 'I'm not interested in the partisan battles you see on cable news – Kansans want leaders who work together – regardless of political party – to get things done. That's exactly what I've done in the State Senate, and that's the kind of common-sense, bipartisan leadership I'll bring to the Governor's Office. Other Republican candidates who have announced include Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson, Secretary of State Scott Schwab, former governor Jeff Colyer, Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt, former school board member Joy Eakins, former Johnson County Commissioner Charlotte O'Hara, business owner Stacy Rogers, and conservative podcaster Doug Billings. Senator Cindy Holscher is running on the Democratic side. KDHE adds nine lakes to its blue-green algae advisory list For more Kansas news, click here.

Voters in Wichita will narrow down candidates for the Wichita City Council seat for District 1 and USD 259 Board of Education District 1 and District 5. Maize residents will decide whether to support a 1% sales tax. 'These local elections are municipal and school district elections. I get on my soapbox every time because I think the local and school board elections impact us more in our daily lives than the national elections do,' Laura Rainwater, Sedgwick County Election Commissioner, said. Woman killed in flash floods on Overland Park trail Advance voting begins at the following five satellite locations on Thursday, July 31.(Thurs-Fri 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sat 9 a.m.-1 p.m.): Bel Aire City Hall, 7651 E Central Park Ave, Bel Aire, KS Grace Presbyterian Church, 5002 E Douglas Ave, Wichita, KS Maize City Hall, 10100 Grady Ave, Maize, KS Progressive Missionary Baptist Church, 2727 E 25th St N, Wichita, KS Westlink Church of Christ, 10025 W Central Ave, Wichita, KS Some other Kansas towns will be having primaries for city council or commissioner positions. Other counties that KSN News has contacted will not be holding primaries because there are only a few candidates. 'Only about 27% of eligible voters in Sedgwick County are able to vote in this election, so not everybody is eligible to vote, so it's going to be a really small turnout election,' Rainwater said. 5 million above-ground pools recalled after deaths reported in 6 states Election Day is Tuesday, Aug. 5.
