Representatives of the school district and striking teachers planned on Sunday to carry on with negotiations into the night.

Negotiations between the Seattle Education Association (SEA) and the school district continued Sunday, but without enough progress to predict an end to a teacher walkout.

At an evening news conference, teachers-union representatives said too many differences remain with the district over pay, student testing and a proposal to lengthen the school day.

Teachers made a new offer on pay Sunday, asking for a two-year deal with a 4.75 percent raise the first year and a 5 percent raise in the second, in addition to a 3 percent cost-of-living raise offered by the state.
