Alert: Tiverton schools will reopen tomorrow

Tiverton schools will reopen tomorrow after lawyers for the district and the teachers union this afternoon negotiated a consent order following today's strike.

Under the agreement, teachers will go back to work and a majority of the School Committee, including either chairperson Denise deMedeiros or vice chair Michael Burk, will attend all mediation sessions with the union, which begin tomorrow night.

"A productive day," said Superior Court Judge Vincent Ragosta, who worked with both sides behind closed doors throughout the day in Newport Superior Court.

John Harrington has been appointed the mediator.
