A union spokesperson said the strike 'was about students who deserved a commitment to modern schools with heating and air conditioning, smaller class sizes, and a well-rounded curriculum that includes art, music and P.E.'

Union members picket during a district-wide teachers strike outside Whetstone High School in Columbus, Ohio, on August 22, 2022., Columbus City Schools, the union announced. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

A mass membership meeting is planned for this weekend and the CEA bargaining team will recommend that members approve the pact, the union said, adding that the school board would vote on the contract if it's ratified and in-person classes would resume Monday if both sides go along. It's the union's first strike since 1975. The CEA represents nearly 4,500 teachers, librarians, nurses, counselors, psychologists, and other educators. The district has roughly 47,000 students.
