The President of the Kewanee Education Association, Ruth Kapacinskas, joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Thursday to discuss the ongoing mediation between the Kewanee School District and the staff represented by the KEA. Earlier this week, Dr. Chris Sullens, Kewanee School District Superintendent expressed optimism that a deal between Kewanee School District and the KEA could be completed by the next School Board Meeting in November. We asked Ruth Kapacinskas if she was as optimistic as the Superintendent. We also asked Ruth what it means for teachers to be working without a contract and about whether or not more informational demonstrations would be taking place soon.
