Summary
At a March 23 special meeting, the Kewanee Community Unit School District No. 229 Board approved a three-year contract with the Kewanee Education Association by unanimous roll-call vote after closed-session deliberations; no public comments were recorded.
The Kewanee Community Unit School District No. 229 Board of Education voted unanimously on March 23 to approve a three-year contract with the Kewanee Education Association. Superintendent R. Baney recommended the contract during the open session that followed an earlier closed session.
The contract was approved after a motion by Member Christiansen and a second from Member Dev. The roll-call vote recorded Members DeMay, Dev, DeBord, Christiansen, Salisbury, Steffen and President Jeff Johnson voting "aye"; there were no nay votes.
