After seven days of strikes, the Oakland Unified School District announced it had reached an agreement with the teachers’ union on four “common good” demands — which, until this point, had placed the two sides in a gridlock since the strikes began.
For over a week, the district had argued that these demands — which seek to address racial equity, homelessness, and environmental justice for students — fell outside the scope of a union bargaining agreement. But on Saturday night, four of those demands had been agreed upon, relating to: housing and transportation, the community schools grant, the Black thriving community schools initiative, and school closures.
“We are still on strike, but momentum is on our side,” tweeted the teachers’ union, the Oakland Education Association, that evening.
