SEATTLE — The Seattle Education Association met Sunday to review their contract agreement with the Seattle Public School District.
They voted to officially approve their new contract agreement.
SEA members advised they would be meeting at 3:00 p.m.—to vote on the tentative agreement negotiated earlier this week.
From the Seattle Education Association, regarding ratification of the contract:
'The SEA Standing Rules require that 20% of the members of each bargaining unit - the certificated, para-educator and secretary bargaining units are present. Additionally 60% of the buildings must be present. The final vote requires a simple majority - 50% + 1.'
The first day of school for students of Seattle public schools was delayed by a teacher strike.
Teachers won a 14.3 percent pay raise over three years, mandatory 30-minute recesses for elementary students, a longer school day and more say over standardized tests.
