2002 District Stike

The Issaquah School District teacher's union voted to strike which in turn left Issaquah schools to be closed from the opening day of school, September 4th, until September 26th - closing the school for a total of three weeks; fifteen total school days. An agreement was made on September 25th ratified by a 740-45 majority vote cast by the teachers at Issaquah High School, relieving the teachers of the threats of fines that would be put in place due to the fact that the teachers voted to defy a King County Superior Court injunction calling for the teachers to return to work[1]. Resulting from the strike was a 3.8 percent pay increase over two years; ninty-five percent being covered by state aid. An additional $250 "return to work incentive" was offered to all teachers as well as a $500 bonus the following year[2].

2006 Bus Driver Termination

An Issaquah School District bus driver now identified as Staci LaManna was fired in September 2006 when she allegedly "flipped off" United States President George W. Bush in June of 2006 while she was transporting a group of students back from a field trip to the Woodland Park Zoo.[3] The 43-year-old driver has filed a union grievance for wrongful termination.[4] The Issaquah School District stated that the termination was a result of a "pattern of behavior" and not for any political reasons.[5]
