The West Chicago District 33 teachers strike is over, and there is school Thursday.

Mary Catherine Kosmach, union spokesperson, said an agreement was reached at 12:15 a.m. Thursday.

"A tentative agreement has been reached between ETAWC and the board of education. We are suspending the strike pending presentation of the tentative agreement to our members," Kosmach said.

Teachers will meet after school Thursday to review the tentative agreement.

The strike lasted three days. More than 4,000 students were affected. Some of the main sticking points between the teachers' union and district officials were salaries and health insurance premiums.

A message on the district's website indicated that the agreement would be good for three years.
