School strikes are to be suspended while a union consults its members on a new pay offer.
Council leaders had earlier agreed to impose the controversial offer, with the promise that it would be backdated to April for all staff rather than just some.
Cosla said this was due to additional "one-off funding" of £17.2m from the Scottish government and urged Unison to call off strike action.
Unison will now put it to a vote.
Its members in schools and nurseries - including janitors and catering staff - have been involved in industrial action since September.
They are now being recommended to accept the offer, with Unison saying it has secured an additional £100m for local government workers.
The Unite and GMB trade unions had already voted to accept the revised pay offer for support staff, while Unison had argued that a better deal was possible.
The offer, which will now be imposed, would still mean that the lowest paid staff would get a rise of about £2,000 while others get a rise worth at least 5.5%.
Council leaders have also agreed to raise the wages of the lowest paid to £15 an hour by 2026, if they can.
