King County Superior Court Judge Andrea Darvas ruled Thursday in favor of the Kent School District's request to end the Kent Education Association's strike, saying the strike is illegal and the court cannot change that.

"The strike by the Kent Education Association is unlawful," she said, adding that the teachers also signed contracts, which stated the school year was to begin Aug. 31. "The current work stoppage is in violation of those obligations."
