State Senate Democrats say there’s a deal to resolve how New York City schools are governed, reauthorizing Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s authority over the school system, the Associated Press reports.

Three Senate officials familiar with negotiations, including a Democratic senator, say the deal Bloomberg’s camp helped negotiate will create a $1.7 million training center for parents to give them support and a method for participating in the school system.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal isn’t public.

The plan will create an arts advisory committee, allow for a review of principals and the quality of curriculum, and create open meetings with a focus on public safety in schools.

The deal comes after weeks of bickering between senators and Bloomberg. The two sides have even exchanged personal jibes the last couple weeks.
