SESPA and Shoreline School District have tentative agreement

SESPA, the Shoreline Educational Support Professionals Association, and the Shoreline School District have reached a tentative agreement on a contract.

Both organizations have to ratify the agreement before details will be made public. The SESPA General Membership meeting is scheduled for 4:30 pm on October 28. The location has not been set.

The Shoreline School Board will also meet to ratify the agreement.

Contract talks began in July and continued into the start of the school year with the assistance of a state mediator. The last session was this week, on October 18 and 19, when an agreement was reached.

The union members, which includes nurses, crossing guards, library aides, and many other positions within the schools, continued to work during this period.
