Wichita Public Schools has declined to concede the race, its superintendent saying the district is waiting for every vote to be counted before deciding what to do next.

USD 259 is in the unknown. District leaders are unsure of how to move forward without official election results. Regardless of the vote, Superintendent Kelly Bielefeld reaffirmed Wednesday morning that four elementary schools would close.

Wichita schools that will close say they are concerned that the community fostered in the buildings will be lost in the district’s facilities plan.
