Eatonville teachers to strike next week if contract agreement isn't met
Teachers in the Eatonville School District plan to strike next week if they aren’t able to reach a contract agreement with the district.
Members of the Eatonville Education Association (EEA), the union that represents teachers, voted Tuesday to authorize a strike on Sept. 7, which is the first day of class.
“After spending years working in the hardest teaching environment any of us have ever experienced, we will not accept takeaways or a contract that doesn’t improve the needs of our students or our working conditions,” Michael Sniezak, EEA president, said in a statement.
EEA said it’s asking the district for smaller class sizes, better student mental health and behavior supports, reduced caseloads, supports for split classrooms and competitive compensation.
