Kennewick teacher’s strike claims second day, school closed Wednesday

The Kennewick School District has canceled all school for Wednesday, August 28, as the contract impasse with its teacher's union continues.

The KSD released the following statement Tuesday evening:

The Kennewick School District (KSD) continues to negotiate with the Kennewick Education Association (KEA) and as of 7 p.m. an agreement has not been reached. There will be no school tomorrow as the KEA continues its strike.

School-based athletic practices and events will continue to be held at their regularly scheduled times, as coaching contracts are separate from the KEA contract.
