Officials with the Oakland Unified School District announced early Monday evening that the teachers' strike would extend into a fourth day on Tuesday.
Early Monday, thousands of students sat idly in Oakland classrooms, unsure of when their school year will end as district officials and the teachers union remain without any movement toward a new contract.
"We appreciate that we finally received the counter-proposal, we would also appreciate them coming back to the table," Hutchison said."Though it has been reported that we have been the ones missing meetings and not bargaining, that's simply not accurate." Union leaders issued an early morning statement declaring"the strike by educators is and has been about more than a livable wage ... the ability of educators to use their professional judgment to advocate for the needs of students also is subject to bargaining."
"That's frustrating because I don't know who to believe," said parent Rebecca Campbell."I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle, but it's challenging to try and thread the needle with all the different."
