The teachers union and the board of directors at the Chicago High School for the Arts have reached an agreement on a new four-year contract to avert a threatened strike.
Educators represented by the Chicago Teachers Union had planned to walk out Wednesday after negotiations dragged on for more than a year without much progress. But after the union called off its strike at the last minute due to “major breakthroughs” in negotiations late Tuesday night, the two sides finalized a deal Wednesday.
