Update: Contract Bargaining and Negotiations

Just in case you have missed the emails from Seattle Public schools, or the posts from 100 of your closest friends on Facebook, here is the latest:

"Dear Families,

We are pleased to let you know that a tentative two-year agreement has been reached by the Seattle Education Association, which represents educators, and Seattle Public Schools bargaining teams. SEA members are scheduled to vote on the tentative agreement on Tuesday, Sept, 3 at about 5 p.m. If SEA members vote to approve the agreement, school will start on time on Sept. 4. We will inform families on Tuesday evening of the outcome of the vote, which will also be shared by media. Superintendent José Banda thanks the SEA and SPS bargaining teams for their hard work and commitment to student success. We will continue to update our website at www.seattleschools.org.

Thank you,
Office of Public Affairs
Seattle Public Schools"
