Tentative agreement reached between Moses Lake Education Association and school district

MOSES LAKE, Wash. — After a week of canceled classes due to a teachers strike, the Moses Lake Education Association and the Moses Lake School District have reached a tentative agreement.

According to the Education Association, members will meet soon to discuss and vote on the agreement.

Teachers plan to head back to classrooms and worksites on Monday.

The tentative agreement will also go to the Moses Lake school board, who also have to approve the new contract for the agreement to be final.

“It was a long and stressful week for our members and for the Moses Lake community,” said Moses Lake EA President Heather Whittall. “We appreciate everyone’s fortitude and patience as our bargaining teams worked to get us a tentative agreement.”
