A last-minute labor dispute between Seattle’s school district and its teachers union was resolved just hours before classes were set to begin, allowing schools to open on schedule. Negotiators reached an agreement after extended talks, avoiding a potential strike that could have disrupted the start of the academic year. The deal comes after months of discussions over contract terms, including pay, benefits, and classroom conditions. With no further disruptions announced, students and staff can proceed with the planned Wednesday morning start.
