Details are still hazy, but the Oregonian's schools reporter Nicole Dungca is reporting that after a marathon 23-hour bargaining session, the Portland Public Schools and the Portland Association of Teachers have reached an agreement.

Signatures still need to be applied to paper, but this is a very welcome development. As previously planned, schools will still be let out early on Wednesday, but students will be seeing their regular teachers in class on Thursday morning.
