Voters in Wyandotte County and across the metro weighed in on races Tuesday for school board seats and other municipal positions like mayor and city council.

A school board, also known as a board of education, is a nonpartisan body of individuals who are elected to represent their community’s values and views for public schools in their school district, according to the National School Boards Association.

The boards for the district, develop and approve policies for the schools, hire, supervise and evaluate the superintendent, and approve budgets set by the superintendent. School boards are not in charge of any actual school management or day-to-day operations. The policies they are in charge of can range from fiscal management to rules around student discipline.

Below are the results as reported by the Wyandotte County Election Board for area school boards. The Star is only presenting results in competitive races, including Bonner Springs, KCK, Piper and Turner. The results are displayed alphabetically by community.
