Lake Washington schools' support staff take sick day Monday to protest wages

Most secretaries in the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) called in sick on Monday, March 8, but apparently not because of an epidemic. In a press release issued by Lake Washington Educational Support Personnel (LWESP) that afternoon, LWESP spokesperson Sheila Nokes wrote, “Desks of LWESP members were largely empty Monday with the vast majority of members calling in sick. The LWESP support staff members often go the extra mile to show up for work even when they’re not feeling well, but not Monday. And it’s no surprise, either. The administration seems to remain blind to the contribution those employees make, preferring to instead give themselves raises with annual increases that exceed $20,000 for top administrators, while stonewalling the support staff contract talks. On Monday, support staff said enough.”
