The move is a nod to a demand striking teachers made to LAUSD leaders: do something about charter schools.

Early Tuesday morning, the teachers union almost walked out of the talks. Four hours later, they had a deal.

On the day Los Angeles Unified School District teachers went on strike, Mayor Eric Garcetti suggested resolving the dispute might require a small "leap of faith" by school district officials.

The mayor says he will consider supporting a revenue-generating parcel tax.

All 33,000-plus UTLA members are expected to return to school tomorrow.

It's finally over.

Why? Well, even if the teachers union and L.A. Unified reach an agreement, union members would still have to vote on it.

As if trouble from one union wasn't enough, LAUSD now faces a second group of angry workers.

Don't get too excited yet. For now, they're just talking.

Los Angeles teachers union members have made a class-size reduction central to their demands during their strike against the L.A. Unified School District.

If LAUSD could scare up more money, is class-size reduction the best way to spend it?

At a press conference Tuesday morning, LAUSD Superintendent Austin Beutner said the district did not have plans to negotiate.
