After a tentative agreement was reached Tuesday, Los Angeles teachers will return to classrooms on Wednesday after a strike that stretched into six days, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti said.
The announcement comes after thousands of teachers and parents marched outside schools and in downtown LA last week.
Union leaders and district officials held a series of meetings through the weekend and the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to try to come to a deal.
Garcetti said that it came after a "21-hour marathon session that wrapped up just before sunrise this morning."
UTLA teachers went on strike Jan. 14, calling for smaller class sizes and the hiring of more support staff, such as nurses, counselors and librarians.
It was the first such teachers' strike in 30 years.
