One day before the strike deadline, negotiations between the Akron teacher's union and the school district ended Saturday around 7:30 p.m. with plans to reconvene tomorrow.

"We will go into federal mediation and we will stay as long as it's necessary to come to a meeting of the mines on many issues. You, you can't enter specifically having a bottom line," Akron Education Association president Pat Shipe said.
