Teachers say thanks

The La Conner Education Association would like to offer its sincerest thanks and deepest gratitude to the entire La Conner community for their amazing show of support for our teachers during our recent contract negotiations. Our success was due in no small part to the generous display of enthusiasm and encouragement from parents, students, staff and community.

We would also like to thank the district negotiating team of Superintendent Dr. Whitney Meissner, Business Director Bonnie Haley and Middle and High School Principal Todd Torgeson for their work in helping us reach an agreement that raises La Conner teachers’ salaries from the bottom of the region to one of the highest in the county!

Finally, we would like to thank the members of the La Conner School Board, Kate Szurek, John Thulen, Brad Smith, Janie Beasley and Lynette Cram, for valuing La Conner teachers and acknowledging our work and dedication by providing us with professional, competitive salaries.

Thank you again to everyone who helped us reach an agreement we can all be proud of!

With gratitude,

La Conner Education
