About 1,300 striking Kent School District teachers have put off until Monday evening their decision on whether to obey a judge’s order that they return to the classroom Tuesday.
About 1,300 striking Kent School District teachers have put off until Monday evening their decision on whether to obey a judge’s order that they return to the classroom Tuesday.
The teachers planned to rally at 11 a.m. today in front of the district office on Southeast 256th Street and said they would continue picketing over the weekend.
In the meantime, some 26,000 students in the state’s fourth-largest district remain out of school, forcing parents to scramble for emergency day care, upsetting plans for seniors hoping to graduate on time and causing what King County Superior Court Judge Andrea Darvas on Thursday called “irreparable damage” to students and parents.
