The Washington Post is reporting that negotiators have reached a tentative agreement in the Chicago Teachers Union strike that could return students to public school classrooms on Monday.

Observers note that teachers have not voted on a contract, but will negotiate through the weekend with the hopes of voting Sunday on finalized language.

There is no agreement. I repeat, there is no agreement. #CTUStrike
