No school for 2nd day as Seattle teachers strike

Assistant professor of Educational Foundations, Leadership & Policy David Knight is quoted in an article by the Associated Press News titled “No school for 2nd day as Seattle teachers strike.” In the article about the current educator strike at Seattle Public Schools, David discusses how adequate salaries and good working conditions make schools better for everyone — but figuring out how to structure those salaries to retain good teachers and support new ones is a challenge. “Educator dissatisfaction with working conditions is not something that started yesterday,” he said. “They want safe and supported working conditions, they want a voice in school district policy, they want a livable salary. What people sometimes forget is administrators want those things too.”
