Seattle teachers ratify new agreement with district
The Seattle teachers’ strike will not resume. The union, the Seattle Education Association (SEA), announced it had ratified a new contract with Seattle Public Schools, with more than 4,000 educators voting to confirm the new contract.
It comes after the SEA voted to suspend their five-day strike on Sept. 13, and classes resumed a day afterward.
“We apologize for the frustration and anxiety the delay is causing students and families,” Seattle Public Schools wrote in a press release last week. “We know families feel the strain and burden of this process. We want school to begin as soon as possible.”
Teachers cited more support for special and multilingual education, smaller class sizes, and competitive pay as their most significant reasons for striking.
