BELLEVUE — Teachers in Bellevue have voted to strike, meaning classes won’t start Tuesday for some 16,000 students in the east Seattle suburb.
Key issues for some 1,200 teachers, counselors and other classroom specialists are pay and curriculum.
Contract talks with the Bellevue School District reached an impasse over the weekend, and a mediator was called in to help. District spokeswoman Ann Oxrieder says a lengthy negotiating session ended late this afternoon without a contract.
Bellevue city leaders say they’ll support an expanded Boys and Girls Club day camp on Tuesday to provide child care and could open two additional day camps if the strike continues through Thursday.
