Oakland teachers strike to continue Monday if no deal is made

With just 14 days of school left in Oakland, many are hoping that negotiations this weekend would get the Oakland Unified School District and the Oakland Education Association closer to a deal, and end the teacher strike that began on Thursday."It's still confusing. There are parts that are missing. There are lots of errors. There actually seems to be some regression," says Vilma Serrano, a co-chair of the OEA's bargain team, which is represents teachers.

The union says it received a new written proposal from OUSD on Friday night, which is different from the proposal the district sent on Wednesday. The union spent all day Saturday devising a counter offer. "For P.E. teachers, it would be a class size reduction. One P.E. teacher would get 2 students. That would be great, if this were a personal training class. But that's not what our P.E. classes are," says Samia Khattab, an Oakland school teacher ,who is part of the OEA's 50-member bargaining team.
