Classes To Resume After Saucon Teachers Strike

HELLERTOWN, Pa. (AP) ―

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.
