TACOMA, Wash. – Tacoma Public School has canceled class on Monday as a result of the ongoing teacher's strike.
Friday, hundreds of striking teachers waited to find out whether they will face penalties for defying a judge’s order to return to work.
The teachers' strike entered day four Friday in the state’s third-largest school district, delaying the beginning of school for 28,000 students. Athletics will continue as scheduled.
Union leaders with the Tacoma Education Association and the school district resumed negotiations Friday morning. As of noon, there were no agreements or updates in the negotiations.
At the same time, lawyers for both sides met in court with Superior Court Judge Bryan Chushcoff, who issued the injunction ordering teachers back to work on Thursday. He could decide to punish the teachers with possible fines for defying his orders. (more at link)
