Gov. Pat Quinn ordered the Illinois Board of Education chairman to help both sides reach an agreement Wednesday in a four-week school district strike in Waukegan. That's after the board abruptly adjourned a public meeting with members and parents shouting and booing.
Both parties say they reached a tentative contract agreement. Officials say schools plan to reopen Monday.
About 17,000 students have been out of school since the strike began on Oct. 2.
