Update: School is on for Vancouver Public Schools. The district and Vancouver Association of Educational Support Professionals reaches a deal in time to avoid a strike.

Previous story: Friday was supposed to be a day off for Vancouver Public Schools students. That is, until teacher strikes in August took them out of school for four days and the district decided to cancel a previously planned day off to make up for it.
