(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Education Association – or teacher’s union – is urging residents to attend what they’re calling a press conference but appears to be more of a rally in advance of next Wednesday’s Richmond Community School Board meeting.  The statement, which was posted Wednesday night on the REA's Facebook page, says that next week’s event is an effort to restore REA President Kelly McDermott to her teaching position and to demand that union voices be respected.  The event begins at 4:45.  The REA is inviting the public to attend.
