Students in an eastern Pennsylvania school
district are heading back to class after having a week off due to a teachers
strike.
Teachers in the Saucon Valley
School District in
Hellertown decided to go to nonbinding arbitration to resolve their contract dispute
with the district.
No settlement has been reached. The two sides
differ over pay and the amount teachers contribute for health care benefits.
Teachers union president Vivian Demko says
teachers are eager to get back to their classrooms. District officials are
telling students to plan for a regular day at school Tuesday.
The teachers had been on strike since Sept. 15. By law, the last day they could have stayed out was Oct. 17.
