Chicago teachers have shown their solidarity in massive numbers. More than
90 percent of teachers have given the OK for a work stoppage, multiple
sources told NBC Chicago.

That number is well above the 75 percent needed, by law, to authorize a
strike.

Chicago Teachers Union spokesman Stephanie Gadlin declined to provide an
official number but said that some schools have seen 100 percent of teacher
approve a strike.

"We're pleased," she said, but added: "We know there will be challenges by
[Chicago Public Schools].

CTU is analyzing and double-checking the numbers before releasing any
information on the vote. That may happen Monday.

CPS officials declined to comment until official numbers are released.
