Just In: Oakland Unified School District teachers voted to authorize a strike, the union representing them announced Tuesday afternoon.
The Oakland Unified School District says if there is a strike, it expects the earliest it could take place is next Monday, May 1.
The district has gone to a state board to try to stop the strike -- it contends testing for AP courses will be taking place at the time.This is a breaking update. Previous story follows. Teachers in the Oakland Unified School District are set to vote on whether to authorize a strike after their union says it has been in negotiations with the district for about six months.Within the six months of contract negotiations, the school board has approved a package of budget reductions for next school year - which are essentially designed to make room for teacher pay raises.
