GRAYSLAKE, IL — Community Consolidated School District 46 teachers and students will be headed back to school on Monday after a one-day strike has ended. School officials have announced that the school board, the Grayslake Federation of Teachers and the Grayslake PSRP (support staff union) reached a tentative agreement regarding salary increases for the remaining two years of their current four-year contract.

The strike began Thursday. Classes were not in session Friday since it was a non-instructional day for students. Classes will resume on Monday, Nov. 11, according to school officials.

The unions will need to ratify the agreement and the school board will also have to approve it before details surrounding the updated contract are released.
