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.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
