KENT, Wash. — The Kent teachers’ union has confirmed to KIRO 7 that a tentative agreement on a new contract has been reached with the Kent School District.If union members ratify the contract on Wednesday night, classes would start the next day on Thursday, Sept. 8, according to the Kent Education Association.Union members will gather at 5 p.m. at Kent Meridian High School to vote on the new agreement.
School for 25,000 students in the district was supposed to start on Aug. 25, but as negotiations on a new contract failed to result in an agreement, teachers instead began striking on that day.KEA said bargaining with the district started in mid-July, and the biggest sticking points were not about salary.
Educators said their primary concerns were more counselors for students, manageable class sizes and wages that will help the district attract and retain teachers.
