The OC:

Is the nasty five day teachers strike over at the Capistrano Unified School District?

As of 11:30 p.m., it appears that the School District and teachers union have come to a tentative "mutual agreement" that will end teacher picketing.

Capistrano USD school board Prez Anna Bryson said an agreement was reached at 11:30 p.m. 

The final details of the agreement have not been made public.  The Capistrano Unified teachers strike began from a conflict for more than nine months, when district leaders began pursuing a permanent 10 percent pay cut for rank-and-file teachers.

More than 70% to 90% of the students stayed home during the short lived strike.  Capo Unified has more than 50,000 students attending schools from grades K-12.

More details as the break....
