The Chicago Teachers Union approved a “tentative” deal with Chicago Public Schools late Tuesday, paving the way for Chicago students to return to in-classroom instruction, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“Chicago Teachers Union members have voted two-to-one in favor of a reopening deal with Chicago Public Schools, signaling that in-person classes can resume Thursday as planned,” the outlet reported. “The union’s 25,000 members had through 11:59 p.m. Tuesday to vote on the proposed framework after its 600-member House of Delegates on Monday decided to put the decision in members’ hands. Now ratified, it is a binding agreement between CTU and CPS.”
