Pasco teachers and the Pasco School District plan to continue contract talks through the weekend if necessary, and a state mediator has been brought in to help finalize a contract. School is slated to start on time next Tuesday, August 27th, because the current contract the nearly 1,200 members of the Pasco Association of Educators are under does not expire until August 31...

These Are Most Requested Needed School Supplies By Teachers

The Kennewick School District will hold a teacher job fair April 12 at the Administration Center, 1000 W. Fourth Ave.

Here's a great opportunity!

Walla Walla schools this week announced they've begun the EES, or Educational Effectiveness Survey. It's to determine if their performance and direction are meeting students' needs.

Perhaps learning from some of the issues seen in Pasco over the last year, Kennewick teachers have reached a new contract with the District.

Following the ruling, social media and news outlets showed chants and speeches by angry teachers outside the courthouse.

Teachers and the Prosser School District had agreed to open school, and delay a potential strike until September 8th in an effort to give more time to reach a contract. But now, talks have broken off, and the District has requested mediation.

First, if you need to know if school will be in session Thursday or onward due to the teacher's strike, the number to call (after 7pm) is 509-416-7874. Negotiations continue with hopes of ending the strike.

Pasco isn't the only school district facing potential delays in the start of school.
