Looks like that extended vacation for archdiocesan high school students is just about over.
The archdiocese and lay teachers at their high schools announced a tentative deal to end the two-week-long strike late yesterday afternoon.
A vote is scheduled by the teachers this morning.
You can bank on them accepting the deal. This dispute wasn’t about the usual sticking points, salary or health benefits. Instead the union was balking at new education initiatives the archdiocese was looking to implement that they believed would undermine seniority and lead to an influx of part-time teachers.
No details of the deal have been released.
It looks like classes for the 16,500 students at 17 high schools – including four in Delaware County – could start as early as Tuesday.
