We have an update on the Columbus teacher strike...

After nearly 14 continuous hours of negotiations, the Columbus Board of Education and the Columbus Education Association have reached a conceptual agreement.

Columbus Board of Education President Jennifer Adair said in a statement that was released around 3 a.m. Thursday, that students will return to in-person instruction on Monday.

"The last few months have been devoted to finding resolution and a strong plan forward with the Columbus Education Association in shared support of our children. Tonight, we are happy to report that we have reached a conceptual agreement with CEA leaders, and our children will return to in-person instruction on Monday," Adair said. "While the details cannot yet be disclosed, the contract recognizes the Board’s commitment to improving our student outcomes, the essential work of the CEA members, and strengthening our learning environments. We look forward to welcoming our students, teachers, and staff back to the classroom on Monday."

The board said students will remain in online learning for Thursday and Friday, giving teachers two days for planning to prepare for a return to school on Monday.

The CEA says an agreement was reached on a new labor contract covering nearly 4,500 teachers, librarians, nurses, counselors, psychologists and other education professionals employed by Columbus City Schools, tentatively ending the district’s first teacher strike since 1975.
