St. paul teachers contract

Updated 5:28 p.m.

Leaders of St. Paul’s teachers union and the city’s public school system said Tuesday afternoon they’ve reached a tentative agreement on contracts. The deal puts to rest weeks of worry over a possible March 11 strike and canceled classes for some 33,000 students and their families.

Officials with the state’s second largest school district said the agreement means there will not be a strike and school will remain in session.

Details are expected to be released after they’re approved by St.

Paul Federation of Educators members and St. Paul’s board of education.

Like many teachers groups in the state, St. Paul educators had been working without a contract since July of last year.

Teachers came close to a strike during the last bargaining cycle of 2022 before reaching a deal with the district. In 2020, union members walked out in a three-day strike before reaching a deal.
