    Los Angeles teachers will return to their classrooms Wednesday after a six-day strike ended late Tuesday with teachers and staff throwing their support behind a new agreement.

    Preliminary numbers from a vote by members of the United Teachers Los Angeles show that "a vast super majority" voted yes, ending the strike, UTLA President Alex Caputo-Pearl told reporters late Tuesday.

    He said the counting of the ballots will continue on Wednesday.

    "It's a historic day today in Los Angeles," he said.

    "Our members after a strike that began on Monday, January 14, are going to be heading back to school, to the students that they love and the classrooms that they love and the schools that they love and are committed to," he added.
