KENT, Wash. (AP) — Teachers in the Kent School District are on strike, saying they want higher pay, smaller class sizes and more mental and behavioral support for students. The school year was supposed to start Thursday. KOMO reports teachers say they are far from reaching an agreement with the district. The district said high school sports will continue, but meal service will not start up until school does. Kent is about 20 miles south of Seattle. The district has about 24,000 students.
