The union representing educators in Minneapolis Public Schools has reached a tentative contract agreement with the district, averting a strike that had been scheduled to begin Tuesday.

The Minneapolis Federation of Educators and the school district announced the tentative deal late Saturday.

In a news release, the union said the deal — which covers contracts for teachers, educational support professionals and adult educators — “invests in solutions that will help students thrive — smaller, enforceable class sizes, strong special education supports and caseload limits, and better pay for educators.”

Specific terms of the agreement were not released.
