Full story:
Teachers represented by OEA are striking over wages and issues such as safety and racial justice, for which they want concessions in any contract. District officials say they are prioritizing wages in contract negotiations because they want to retain teachers.
The district said its proposal includes a retroactive 10 percent raise and a $5,000 one-time bonus, a minimum salary increase compared to their current salary of at least 13 percent and as much as 22 percent for every classroom teacher beginning next year. Teachers have said they want a say in how the district uses state money for community schools. They want reparations for black students.
