"Stalled Negotiations: Portland School Board and Union Clash Over Settlement"

Bargaining teams from Portland Public Schools and the Portland Association of Teachers have reportedly reached a tentative agreement to end the ongoing teachers strike, although the school board disputes this claim. The main point of contention is the issue of class size committees, with the board expressing concerns about parental involvement and access to student information. Despite the disagreement, both sides believe they are very close to reaching a deal and hope to have students back in the classroom by November 27th.
