Oakland teachers and district make progress on 'Common Good' proposals amidst ongoing strike.

After two weeks of negotiations, the Oakland Education Association (OEA), the union representing teachers, and the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) reached an agreement on common good proposals. Key to this agreement are topics related to shared governance and community schools. Despite this agreement, there is still work to be done to get a signed deal to end the strike. The union says what remains are the details over three key areas: teacher salaries, special education programs and class size.
