Seattle Public Schools opened on time this fall after a last-minute labor agreement averted a potential first-day strike, ensuring students returned to classrooms without disruption. The deal, finalized just hours before school began, resolved ongoing contract negotiations between the district and its teachers’ union. With no walkouts or delays, families and educators breathed a sigh of relief as the school year kicked off smoothly. The agreement comes amid broader discussions about teacher working conditions and compensation in the region.
