Kent School District near Seattle just settled with teachers to end a strike for lower class size limits and support for teachers with the largest classes and pupil loads.

To get class sizes reduced, [the teachers] accepted a slightly lower compensation package in the two-year contract they overwhelmingly approved Monday morning.

A great victory in lean times.
