Contract negotiations between Seattle Public Schools and the city’s teachers union will resume Saturday following the third day of a strike that could extend into next week.
Both sides agreed Friday afternoon to continue talks for the first time since the strike began Wednesday. The union said it had been waiting for new ideas and concepts from the district, and got those Friday, said Washington Education Association spokesman Rich Wood.
The district hasn’t yet announced whether classes for its 53,000 students will be canceled Monday for a fourth day.
“We’re hopeful,” said district spokeswoman Stacy Howard. “We don’t want to be in this for the long haul.”
