There were split results in special elections for two Sedgwick County communities. In a mail ballot election that was tabulated Tuesday, Valley Center voters rejected a school bond issue. There were 2,159 no votes to 1,983 in favor of the proposal, giving the no ballots 52 percent of the total. The almost 74 million dollar proposal would have constructed a new elementary school and added 20 classrooms to the high school. Superintendent Greg Lehr said in a statement on social media, “While the bond did not pass, the needs remain. Because several USD 262 schools are at or over capacity with students and our district continues to grow, classroom space will have to be addressed.
