School is canceled for Thursday, Sept. 15

The decision has just been made that school has been canceled today, Thursday, September 15th. All Tacoma Public Schools are closed today due to insufficient school staffing.
 
Yesterday, Pierce County Superior Court Judge Bryan Chushcoff issued a temporary restraining order against the strike by members of the Tacoma Education Association – ordering teachers back into their classrooms.
 
We understand that this time of uncertainty has been difficult, and we ask for your patience as we work to resolve the outstanding labor issues.
 
Please visit our district’s Web site at tacomaschools.org or call the Labor Negotiations Hotline at 253-571-1302 for regular updates.
 
Once again, all Tacoma Public Schools are closed today due to insufficient staffing.
