MINNEAPOLIS — (MINNEAPOLIS) -- The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and educational support professionals on Friday reached a tentative agreement with Minneapolis Public Schools to end their weekslong strike, according to the superintendent of Minneapolis public schools.
The agreement came after 21 consecutive days of negotiations, according to Ed Graff, the superintendent of MPS.
Negotiations on Thursday had"a lot of progress and momentum," with the teachers, followed by progress with ESPs, Graff said in a press conference on Friday. The deal is still pending an MFT members' vote to ratify the contract. A representative for MPS told ABC News details of the agreement will not be released until after the vote.
After months of negotiating, 97% of voting teachers and 98% voting ESPs had voted to authorize the strike. Teachers began their walkout on March 8, MFT's first one in more than 50 years."We all know that teachers and ESPs are an important part of what makes our schools the learning sites on which our students and families rely. I’m extremely grateful for their work, determination and dedication," said Graff.
