An 11-day strike by teachers in a Boston suburb ended Friday night after their union and the school district tentatively agreed on a new contract. The walkout beginning Jan. 19 affected 2,000 Newton Public Schools instructors in about two dozen schools with some 12,000 students. It was the sixth teachers strike in the state since 2022 and the longest, closing schools for 11 days.
