An Aside from the Kent Teacher's Strike

A couple of days ago on the Kent School Districts web page there was a brief update on negotiations, saying that the Kent EA had failed to show up to that day's mediation session. Pretty damning, if true.

What the KSD didn't point out, and which the Kent EA subsequently did, was that was the day that the two sides were in court making their arguments about the injunction the Kent SD had filed for to end the strike.

Making it sound like one side didn't show up on a lark, and publishing that information as truth on your publicly-funded website, sure doesn't feel like good faith negotiating.
