After Seattle Public Schools reached a tentative agreement with the teachers’ union on a new contract Monday night, on Tuesday evening it was announced that the start of school for all students, including preschool and kindergarten, would be Wednesday, Sept. 14, lifting the strike.
Officials said the first day would not be an early release day; however, next Wednesday would begin the 75-minute early release schedule.Although a tentative agreement has suspended the strike, Matter said the full text of the tentative agreement has not been completed, and the union is still working with the district on finalizing the language, as it must be accurate.
Jones said that the technology, transportation, educators, instructors and school leaders are ready to receive the students, and he is “really pleased about that.” “This year, we’re really focused on third grade reading, seventh grade math, and college and career readiness as our primary goals,” Jones said.
Teachers had said some of the major sticking points included their wishes for more support for special and multilingual education, smaller class sizes and competitive pay.
