MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Public Schools and its teachers and support staff have reached tentative contract agreements that could end the strike that has shuttered schools for weeks.
The deals were announced early Friday morning, but it was still unclear as the school week ended when the district's 28,700 students would be back in class.
School district leaders said students could return as soon as Monday, but that depended on the outcome of negotiations with the union on a return-to-work agreement. Those talks, which also cover when to make up missed class days, remained ongoing into the evening, and parents and students were eager for updates.
