Teachers in Oakland, California, will be going on a one-day strike Friday to protest school closures the district has planned for this year and next year.

About 70% of public school teachers in Oakland, California, voted to engage in a one-day walkout to protest unfair labor practices over school closures. A teachers' union said the Oakland Unified School District is going back on a 2019 agreement with the closures.

"The district ignored that agreement. And early this year, the majority school board hastily passed a resolution to close three schools for this year, the 2022 school year. And they have voted to close seven schools for the 2022 - 2023 school year," Keith Brown, the president of the Oakland Education Association, told ABC News.

"The District is pursuing all legal means to prevent this action from happening. We are hoping that OEA will change course, but we are also putting plans in place in case the strike occurs," Johnson-Trammell said in the letter. Protesters hold signs protesting planned school closures in the district at Prescott Elementary school in Oakland, Calif., Feb. 5, 2022.

Oakland schools district urges parents to keep kids home from school on Friday over teacher strikeThe Oakland Unified School District is bracing for another teacher strike on Friday and asked for parents to keep their children home that day. why don't you post the salaries of OUSD teachers like you did for the Stanford Nurses CRONAnurses? I thought that was REALLY helpful! /s They're about to give $800m to a MLB team to help do infrastructure upgrades near their port while OUSD enrollment keep declining with their children's futures are at stake? Could've sworn this town's population was growing, so why are those people's kids not going to school? The perpetual loop of the broken public school system will never be fixed. It’s by design. There will be no public schools in the future. Intelligent educators choose a career that they hate because the pay is terrible. Schools close. Teachers strike. Parents mad. On and on.
