Some picketers were out early today as the stalemate continues in Oakland between the school district and striking teachers, whose walkout now heads into a fourth day.
Hutchinson said Monday that teachers went on strike before an impasse was called, which is unlike the union.
The end of the school year in Oakland public schools is May 25. Hutchinson said he hopes the strike ends before the district must decide whether to extend the year or call an end to it.The Oakland branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People weighed in Monday, saying children's education at the end of the school year is the most important thing right now and urged teachers to think about ending the strike.
Students at this time of year are taking exams, and among other things, getting ready for college. Students need the support of teachers and the community to finish the year strong, NAACP leaders said. The offer also cuts the time it takes teachers to reach the top of the pay scale to 20 years from 32 years.
