'We continue to bargain and remain ready to start school as soon as an agreement is reached,' a message sent to families in the district reads in part.
BySEATTLE — The start of the school year continues to be delayed for almost 50,000 students in the state’s largest school district. School officials announced Sunday that there will be no school on Monday after members of the teachers’ union failed to reach an agreement with Seattle Public Schools.
“There will be no school on Monday, Sept. 12, for all grades including preschool and kindergarten,” a message sent to families in the district reads in part. “Seattle Public Schools and Seattle Education Association are making progress on negotiations but have not yet reached an agreement. We continue to bargain and remain ready to start school as soon as an agreement is reached.”
Teachers in the Seattle Education Association said the major sticking points of their strike are that they want more support for special and multilingual education, smaller class sizes and competitive pay. The district provided an update on negotiations on Saturday, saying that bargaining teams had an “extremely productive weekend.”
