Merritt schools will be back in session Monday, Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to noon for most grades since the settling of the teachers’ strike last night.
Teachers from around B.C. voted 86 per cent in favour of ratifying a six-year agreement with the province, which will see them get a 7.25 per cent wage increase over the term of the contract.
Grade 8 students at Merritt Secondary School will begin orientation an hour earlier on Monday, at 9 a.m.
Kindergarten classes will be phased in during the week.
Tuesday will be the first day of regular classes.
