During the meeting, union members will discuss and review the details and then decide whether to ratify the agreement, which could formally bring an end to the teacher’s union strike, WBNS reports.

“We are very excited to bring this conceptual agreement to our membership for ratification,” said CEA President John Coneglio. “We believe that after a week of sacrifices on the part of our community and teachers, fighting side-by-side, we have achieved an agreement that our students deserve.”

The school board and teachers’ union came to a conceptual agreement early Thursday morning after nearly 14 hours of discussions with the oversight of a federal mediator, tentatively ending the strike, according to WBNS.

Columbus students are expected to return to the classrooms on Monday after they spent their first week of school learning remotely.
