After nearly a week of intense contract negotiations, the Oakland teachers’ union and Oakland Unified School District have still not reached a contract agreement. But the district said a deal is within reach.
"We would not allow our teachers to show up unprepared to the classroom, and we shouldn’t let the district do that either," parent Betsy Twitchell said.
So far, Oakland Unified has not laid out specific district-wide plans for parents and students if a strike happens.
