Teachers with the Oakland Unified School district are not going on strike Monday but it remains a possibility.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Union is upset with the current COVID safety measures and has not been able to come to an agreement with the district.

Some OUSD teachers though want more than just weekly testing, high quality masks, and qualified substitutes like the union is looking for."No tentative agreement should be reached that does not include a return to virtual learning that is the key act that we need to take right now," said Mark Airgood who is an instructor at Sojourner Truth Independent Study. Sojourner Truth is a K-12 academy that is virtual. Airgood says their once small school now has more than a thousand kids.
