Oakland Teachers' Strike Disrupts School Schedules and Leaves Parents Scrambling.

Oakland teachers went on strike after negotiations failed to produce a new contract for the 3,000 members of the Oakland Education Association. The district offered all teachers a pay increase of anywhere from 13% to 23%, depending on their years of experience, but the union also asked for other things like more mental health counselors and a guarantee of better equipment in the classroom. The strike has left parents frustrated and concerned about their children's education.
