Dateline Dixon: Lessons from Ottawa teachers strike
Our role is to keep you informed
DIXON – When it became a reality that the Dixon Education Association was going to call a strike starting today, my mind immediately took me back to Ottawa and the 16-school-day teachers strike at its high school.
As communities, Ottawa and Dixon are all too alike.
The county seat of La Salle County has 18,786 people to Dixon’s 16,000. The two cities are familiar with each other as athletic rivals in the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference and the North Central Illinois Conference before that.
