Chicago school board rejects fact finder report

The governing board of Chicago's public schools has rejected a fact finder's recommendation to give teachers a double-digit raise.

The board voted 6-0 to reject the report Wednesday. The board and the teachers union now have 30 days in which to reach a deal before teachers would be able to strike.

Earlier Wednesday, Chicago schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard told reporters that the two sides have continued to negotiate while the fact finder, Edwin Benn, prepared his report.
