Kansas’ largest school district has named its next superintendent. At a Friday special meeting, the Wichita school board chose Kelly Bielefeld to replace Alicia Thompson in July. Bielefeld, who has been the district’s executive director of college and career readiness since 2020, has also served in teacher, principal and assistant superintendent roles in the Clearwater, Derby, Renwick and Goddard districts. “Since coming to Wichita Public Schools in 2020, he has supported secondary schools with visionary college- and career-ready leadership, written and administered federal grants and created our future-ready center in cooperation with WSU Tech,” board President Sheril Logan said.
