Teachers in Seattle, who walked off the job last Wednesday, will now return to the classrooms on Thursday. The teachers and the school board have come to an agreement on a new contract for the 5,300 support staff and teachers on strike. The striking employees had not received a cost-of-living wage increase in over six years.
