Open Letter from the Bellevue School Board to Parents: Sept. 5, 2008

All of us on the Board deeply regret the decision to strike. Like you we live in this district and take pride in the quality of the education provided to our children. Postponing the start of school due to a strike is much more than an inconvenience. We understand that a teacher strike affects the very fabric of our community, and are actively engaged with the school administration in seeking solutions that will end the strike, reopen the schools, and re-establish a cooperative and respectful environment for all parties.
