Dedham Will Have School As Tentative Teacher Contract Agreement Reached

The Dedham teachers union and the school committee reached a tentative contract agreement Sunday afternoon.

DEDHAM, MA — The Dedham teachers union and the school committee reached a tentative contract agreement Sunday afternoon. Schools are set to reopen Monday.

The Dedham Educators Association approved the strike by a vote of 258-2 Thursday afternoon. They’ve been working without a contract for more than a year now. A major sticking point in negotiations is language preventing sexual harassment.

On Saturday, bargaining talks went 11 hours straight and stopped at 2 a.m. Sunday. They resumed again at noon.
