Teachers will not be in the classroom in Oakland public schools again on Friday as their strike resumes over broken down negotiations.
But Supt. Kyla Johnson-Trammell while she supports the ideas philosophically, says they can't all be carried out in reality.
"As a district, we simply can't do everything," she said. "We need to remain focused on prioritizing our primary focus, which is teacher compensation and student well-being." There were plenty of honks of support among parents and community members, driving by the picket lines."I'm frustrated with the whole situation," Shakira More said. "My concern is that the kids aren't going ot be able to graduate. How are they going to pass? What's the plan, with just 20 days of school?" The last teacher strike in 2019 lasted seven days.
