The Kent School District announced on their website that there will be no school on the scheduled first day due to a teacher strike.
School is supposed to begin on Thursday, Aug. 25.
According to the Kent School District website, high school and middle school offices and the district central office will remain open. They are also continuing high school sports programs. All elementary and middle school activities are postponed until further notice. Meal service will resume when school begins.
The Kent Education Association said union members have been "surprised and disappointed that the district has repeatedly floated several anti-union proposals, including language on discrimination."
Educators are seeking a "modest pay increase" among other issues, which the union claims the district has enough money to fund.
