Just weeks from the end of the school year, thousands of Oakland Unified School District teachers are preparing to hit the picket lines Thursday.
At 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, the district released a statement explaining that it believes a deal is"within reach," but nothing had been finalized. The union would only say that negotiations were continuing.
Teachers said they hope something comes together before 3,000 educators go on strike. But they also said students will not be penalized for not coming to school.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
