ST. LOUIS — The Archdiocese of St. Louis and the St. Louis Archdiocesan Teachers Association have reached a contract agreement.
Both sides had been back and forth on an agreement for weeks now. It's a 3-year contract for teachers at Bishop DuBourg, Rosati-Kain, St. Mary's, and St. Pius X.
An Archdiocese spokeswoman said teachers at Cardinal Ritter College prep will vote on their agreement next week after Easter break.
The teacher's union and the Archdiocese began negotiating in October. The previous contract expired on March 4.
The agreement comes a few weeks after classes were canceled at three of the schools due to staffing issues and labor dispute.
