A planned one-day strike by Oakland teachers on May Day has been canceled following an agreement between the Oakland Education Association (OEA) and the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD). The agreement reinstates budget cuts, thus allowing the district to retain more than 120 high school teachers and restore site-based substitute teachers. The OEA, which had authorized the strike to demand financial information from OUSD, highlighted the importance of solidarity among educators and emphasized the need for collaborative decision-making with the district moving forward.
This outcome reflects the power of educators standing together against cuts harmful to our goal of retaining experienced teachers in Oakland's hardest-to-staff classrooms.
Moving forward, we urge the District to include the Oakland Education Association as a true partner in shaping decisions that impact our schools, students, and their families.
