School and union officials in north suburban Grayslake have reached a tentative agreement that will end the teacher's strike there, the union and school district announced Monday.
After negotiations failed to yield an agreement on a new contract, the teachers' union called for a strike that began last Wednesday.
Early this morning, officials from Community Consolidated School District 46 and the teachers' union issued a brief joint statement announcing a tentative deal, according to Dave Comerford, a spokesman for the teachers union. The school district said it would be a two-year contract.
Schools will reopen Tuesday, according to the statement shared by Comerford, but the agreement remains subject to union ratification and Board of Education approval.
The school district announced the tentative agreement on its web site, saying that classes at the district's schools will resume Tuesday after the already scheduled day off today for the Martin Luther King holiday.
On the website, the district said it would not share details of the contract until it is ratified by both the union and the school board.
