Strike officially over
Teachers and support staff in Huber Heights approved a tentative contract agreement with the school board by a wide margin about 20 minutes ago. So the strike is officially over and school will be in session Friday.
So far, they are not talking about what’s in the deal. Those details will be very interesting.

Carnival’s in town for two weeks
I’ve been so wrapped up in the Huber Heights school strike I almost forgot to mention that this week’s Carnival of Education is being hosted by fellow Ohio-based edublogger Thespis Journal.
The carnival is a weekly compilation of the best education posts from around the blogosphere, and next week it will be hosted right here at Get on the Bus. If you have an education blog and would like to offer a post for inclusion next week, send me a link at scemel@aol.com by 9 p.m. Eastern time next Tuesday, Sept. 5.
Among many great posts from around the edusphere this week, you can read Thespis’ take and my own in our dueling posts about the Huber strike.
I’m also included in this week’s Carnival of Ohio Politics for my post on charter school performance.

Huber Heights: Hopefully details this afternoon
My colleague Valryn Warren reports the teachers and staff will vote on the proposed deal at 3 p.m. today. With any luck, they will ratify it and we’ll learn details of the strike-ending deal afterward. Keep watching DDN.com and check back here later for more.

Strike over? Huber back in school Friday (maybe)
We have few details, but early this morning striking teachers and support staff reached a tentative agreement with the Huber Heights school board. About all we know right now is that school will be in session Friday (assuming the deal is ratified). More details as soon as we have them. Check back here and at the main DDN.com page later this morning.
NOTE: I updated this post to make it clear the deal still needs to be ratified by the union.
