The Oakland teachers strike continued for a third day on Monday. And though there appeared to be progress with negotiations, neither the teachers union and school district met.
Something the teacher's union, Oakland Education Association, says they've made progress on, after meeting with OUSD negotiators until 2 a.m. on Monday.
"I know that all of these issues that are in the common good goals, I saw in the classroom, unhoused youth, many of my students were unhoused, many of my students needed mental health services and these are things that matter to our students and to their education," she said. "So items that are outside of the scope of the contract which are basically compensation and work conditions are not going to be negotiated," Mike Hutchinson, the Oakland Unified School Board President said.
"It's huge. I'm mean these wins will be big for our schools, for our communities," said Hilara Barajas on Sunday, an Oakland teacher who is on the OEA's Common Good proposal team. Previously, OUSD was only willing to negotiate on employee compensation. It stated that common good proposals were not mandatory to negotiate by law.
