Tentative deal reached in Seattle teachers strike

Seattle Public Schools said late Monday it had reached a tentative agreement with the union for teachers who went on strike last week over issues like pay and classroom support.

Earlier Monday the district had cancelled classes Tuesday, the fifth school day that students have missed since the strike began Sept. 7. That was supposed to be the first day for approximately 49,000 students in the district.

In a statement, the district said it would on Tuesday announce an update on when classes would begin.
