Battle For Suburban Kansas Board Of Education Seat

http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/kcur/local-kcur-739413.mp3

Social conservatives and moderates are competing again this year for control of the Kansas State Board of Education. Voters will go to the polls in primary elections on Tuesday to nominate candidates in the five seats that are up for election this year. One of the most closely-watched races is in District 2, which covers parts of Johnson and Wyandotte counties. More from Kansas statehouse reporter Peter Hancock.
