Seattle teachers take up ratification vote for new contract
Teachers vote Monday night on whether to approve a three-year deal for a new labor contract being offered by Seattle Public Schools.
The tentative agreement was brokered after educators went on strike and the start of school ended up being delayed for five days. Voting begins at 5 p.m.
Teachers demanded higher pay and more classroom resources to help students, especially in special education and multilingual programs.
The district offers teachers 7% raises in the first year, followed by 4% and 3% over the next two years.
