Hundreds of teachers in Oakland are expected to walk out and skip classes on Friday over contract negotiations with the school district. They’re calling it a “work stoppage.”
Rallies are scheduled at the following schools between 7:30 and 10 a.m., according to the teachers’ union:
- Oakland High
- Oakland Tech
- Oakland International
- Rusdale
- Skyline
- Fremont
- Roosevelt
- Frick
- Life Academy
- USSA
- MPA
Oakland Unified released a statement early Friday on its website, saying in part: “We know that there is more work to do at the table, but this change alone will have lasting impacts on the recruitment and retention of teachers in OUSD.”
