Oakland teachers plan to hold an unfair labor practice strike on May 1, alleging the school district is withholding financial information during negotiations about budget cuts. The Oakland Education Association stated its commitment to classroom stability and seeks to negotiate with the district to avoid the strike. Despite the potential disruption, the Oakland Unified School District will remain open. The educational landscape is further complicated by the recent decision to end Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell's contract early, as the district prepares to exit state receivership after 22 years.
The Oakland Education Association remains committed to protecting classroom stability - and stands ready to work with the district to reach an agreement that averts a one-day strike in the coming days.
The district argued the strike could undermine OUSD's ability to exit receivership and that it will cause disruptions for students, who are already navigating so much.
