Teachers strike averted in South Burlington

Schools in South Burlington will be open Wednesday after an early morning agreement averted a planned teacher’s strike.
The Burlington Free Press and WCAX-TV report a tentative deal between the teachers and school board was reached after 10 hours of mediation. Talks began at 5 p.m. on Tuesday.
The teachers union had said they would go on strike beginning Wednesday after the last round of talks, an eight-hour bargaining session that ended last Friday morning, failed to produce a deal.A fede
