Minneapolis Public Schools and the union representing its teachers and support staff members are currently engaged in contract talks amid the looming possibility of a strike. A strike authorization vote has been scheduled for later this week as negotiations continue.
The union aims to secure better terms for its members, while the district works to reach an agreement that ensures minimal disruption to students’ education.
