"Portland Teachers Union Votes to Strike, Demanding Better Conditions"

The union representing Portland Public Schools teachers has voted to authorize a strike starting on November 1 after failed bargaining attempts. The district would need to close schools during the strike, with no in-person or online instruction provided. The duration of the strike is uncertain, but the district is working on contingency plans and providing limited resources for remote learning. Grab-and-Go meals will still be available during the strike.
