Governor to Address the State Tonight; SC School Employees to Get Vaccine

  Gov. Kim Reynolds is taking her annual Condition of the State address from day time to supper time.  She will break with tradition, by addressing a joint convention of the 89th Iowa General Assembly at the Iowa Capitol beginning at 6 p.m. tonight, rather than the typical 10 a.m. Siouxland Public Media will broadcast the speech live and a live stream of the speech will be available at kwit.org. Also, you can hear live reactions to the speech live on Siouxland Public Media as soon as Governor Reynolds is finished her address.  

Nearly all of the Sioux City School District's employees will take the coronavirus vaccine in late January or early February. Superindnet Paul Gausman said at last night's school board meeting that he is in discussions with Siouxland District Health Department.  The department will set the details of the vaccine plan. Board member Dan Greenwell asked about vaccinating students, and  Gausman confirmed said the district has no plans to do that. The board also decided to extend the current hybrid learning format that will end this Friday.  Students will be back in school in-person full-time on Monday. <--break->
