Prospect Heights Teachers, School Board Reach Deal, Students Back To School Monday

(CBS) -- Students in Prospect Heights will head back to school on Monday as the school district and teachers reached an agreement to end a teacher strike, according to a statement on the Prospect Heights Education Association website.

The PHEA, the local teachers union, says says it ratified a tentative agreement and and the District 23 School Board will vote on the new contract Tuesday evening.

More than 1,500 students in four schools in District 23 have missed seven days of class because of the strike.
