The Chicago Teachers Union House of Delegates are being presented with the "outlines of an agreement" today, according to the Chicago Tribune, and could vote as soon as Sunday on whether or not it's time to end the strike.

"It's for the membership of the union to decide that, and it's for the House of Delegates to determine whether we'll suspend the strike."
