"Portland Teachers' Strike Looms, Raising Concerns for College-Bound Seniors"

Thousands of teachers and their supporters marched across the Burnside Bridge in Portland, Oregon, ahead of a potential strike by Portland Public Schools teachers. The district and the union are still $200 million apart on contract terms, with wages, planning time, and class sizes being the main sticking points. Negotiations are set to continue, but if an agreement is not reached, the teachers will begin striking on Wednesday.
