MARBLEHEAD, Mass. –

Striking teachers reached an agreement with the Marblehead School Committee on Tuesday evening after more than two weeks of no classes.

The Marblehead School Committee said that under the agreement, schools will reopen on the Wednesday before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Beverly schools remain the last of three striking North Coast school districts without an agreement, as Gloucester schools reached an agreement with their teachers union last week.

“The Marblehead School Committee and the Marblehead Education Association have reached tentative agreements and employees will return to work and schools will reopen on Wednesday,” the Marblehead School Committee said in a statement.

“Both the School Committee and the Association recognize the stress and distress the school closures have caused our students and families, and we are committed to ensuring that the reopening of our schools will be a positive experience for our students and the school community becomes.”

Schools in Marblehead and Beverly were closed Tuesday as union leaders from other counties met with Gov. Maura Healey to ask for support.

The group expressed concern about the ongoing strike, which has forced students to leave their classrooms in its third week.

Teachers in both communities are fighting for higher wages, especially for support staff, as well as better benefits.

The union members who met with Governor Healey were not from Marblehead or Beverly, but from several other communities, including Malden and Andover.

“We had a good meeting. It was productive. I think there was progress throughout the day. “I hope communities can come to a solution soon and students can go back to school,” Healey said.

They said they wanted to urge Governor Healey to support and stand with the striking teachers.

“We have asked Governor Healey to stand with educators, students and community members and be a supportive presence to encourage school boards to come to the table in good faith,” said Deb Gesualdo of Malden Education Association.

“She said she would like to work with us on these issues and think about ways she could support us. “She didn’t want to commit to coming to any of the locals today or tomorrow, which was very disappointing to me because it’s a ‘Which side are you on?’ moment,” said Holly Currier from Andover Education Association.

Governor Healey said she would not directly intervene in the negotiations but would speak to all parties and urge them to reach an agreement.

“I just hope that people, especially on the eve of Thanksgiving, can work really hard today to find a solution so that both teachers and educators and our students can get back to school,” she said.

On Monday night, Beverly teachers gathered for a city council meeting. They brought a negotiating table and arranged a photo op after the school committee broke off negotiations.

A Beverly city councilman became emotional as he called school principals.

“You had a front row seat to what was happening in our schools and you should have been more proactive,” said Beverly City Councilman Matt St. Hilaire.

The union said it would not participate in the state-mandated fact-finding investigation, even though the school board voted to move forward with the process.

“We are very close. The problem is that the school committee has left the negotiating table. They refuse to even negotiate,” said Julia Brotherton of the Beverly Teachers Association.
