As teachers head back to the picket lines Monday, OUSD is now willing to negotiate the full package the union has been demanding, including 'common good' proposals. Here's what that means.
"I think a big thing for us right now is shared governance. We want students, families, communities, and educators all to have a say in how schools are run. That's really important to us," explains Barajas.
"I believe that it has been the strike that has really pushed us into really exposing how dysfunctional this process has been," says Vilma Serrano, Co-Chair of the OEA bargaining team.Serrano says negotiations have progressed enough to where "concrete proposals" are now on the table. But adds, big gaps still exist, especially related to non-teaching staff.
