9:01 pm
we are hopeful we will have a complete agreement the sentiment today is one of optimism both sides weaving negotiations confident that this could be the end of the five day teachers' strike. the heavy lifting is over the framework is in place and we're down to what we believe are details. both sides will spend the next 24 hours or more ironing out language into specifics but the specifics are not being released to the media just yet. the board responded favorably to a proposal advanced by the union last night and police think that that may have broken the logjam in negotiations. most of the court issues are ironed out. meier

after five days with no school for students, teachers walking the picket lines delegates are hopeful that the end is near. many of our kids joined us on the line so that was encouraging. we are ready to go out and ready to teach and it was disappointing that we had to take time out to do all of these things. i know all lot of us would like to get back to work but i am optimistic. but being a teacher we just want a fair contract. tomorrow after new teachers will gather for a solidarity rally. and on sunday the house of delegates will meet again to hear the details of the final contract proposal there are nearly 800 delegates at the majority of them it's expected that school will be back in session on monday. >> parents of chicago public
