Northshore Education Association

❤️ Wear Red Wednesdays & Help Your School Win! 🍕

New for the 2026-27 school year, NSEA is launching our Solidarity Scoreboard to celebrate member engagement across the district!

Here's how to participate:

📸 Wear red every Wednesday
👥 Snap a photo with your colleagues showing your union pride
📩 Send it to NSEA or share it with your Building Rep

Every week we receive a photo from your school earns your building one entry into the Solidarity Scoreboard drawing. The more entries your school earns, the better your chances of winning!

🏆 At the end of the year, one school will be randomly selected to receive an NSEA Pizza Party. Plus, we'll be giving away additional prizes throughout the year.

Let's show our solidarity, build member engagement, and have a little fun along the way. Wear red, take the photo, and help your school climb the scoreboard!

🍎❤️🍕

This evening Northshore Education Association (NSEA) members approved two-year contracts with the district for both Certificated Educators and Education Support Professionals. The new agreements reflect months of thoughtful discussion and our shared commitment to supporting Northshore educators, our students, and their families. Thank you to everyone who participated in the bargaining process. We look forward to welcoming back students next week and a great 2026-27 school year!

Union solidarity doesn't stop at your own local. It means showing up for our union siblings, too.

Early this morning, NSEA ESP Vice President and NEA ESP of the Year Ric Calhoun, along with NSEA President Lauren Dandridge, joined members of SESPA at a rally in Shoreline to stand in solidarity as they fight for a fair contract.

SESPA Co-President Mario Orallo and Co-President Heather Hahn (unfortunately not pictured), leading the charge for the educators and support professionals they represent.

When one union stands up, we all stand stronger. Together, we fight for respect, dignity, and fair contracts for all workers.

✊ Solidarity matters.
✊ Fair contracts matter.
✊ We are stronger together.

Your NSEA bargaining team is still hard at work fighting for the fair contract our members deserve!!

BARGAINING UPDATE

At 11:00 a.m. this morning, NSEA President Lauren Dandridge and Certificated Vice President Talia Rich stood in solidarity as they rejoined the rest of the bargaining team at the table with Northshore School District administration.

Meanwhile, Education Support Professional Vice President Ric Calhoun has stepped away from the bargaining team to begin organizing, energizing, and, if necessary, mobilizing NSEA members should the district continue to ignore what our union has been saying all along:

Every member matters.

The educators who work most closely with students deserve fair pay. Our schools deserve proper librarian staffing. Employees working in our most overloaded classrooms deserve the support, recognition, and compensation that reflects the critical work they do every day.

NSEA remains united and committed to securing a contract that respects all educators and the essential role they play in supporting student success.

When we stand together, we are stronger together.
