The Oakland Unified School District announced Sunday the Oakland Education Association (OEA) will continue its strike Monday.
OAKLAND -- The Oakland Unified School District announced at 6:43 p.m. Sunday it did not reach a contract agreement with teachers and the Oakland Education Association will continue its strike Monday.
The strike involves about 3,000 teachers and other employees and affects about 35,000 students. Teachers and their supporters picketed at about 80 schools across the district Thursday and Friday. The district said Sunday its latest salary proposal is"a nearly $70 million dollar investment in OEA members and teachers because they are the most critical part of our children's education."
The district also said its proposal removes"frozen zones" in the existing salary schedule, which currently mean teachers can go up to 8 years without a raise, which the district admits is a"problem has existed for decades." It also proposes shortening the time teachers take to move to the top of the pay scale, from 32 years to 20 years.
