LOS ANGELES: Teachers overwhelmingly approved a new contract Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) and planned to return to the classroom after a six-day strike over funding and staffing in the nation’s second-largest school district.

A tentative deal between Los Angeles school officials and the teachers union will allow educators to return to classrooms after a six-day strike in the nation's second-largest district. O'Brien said she was ready to support the contract but would consider voting "No" if schools don't get additional support staff like nurses and counselors. (AP Photo/Christopher Weber)
