Educators on both sides of the Bay have made progress in contract negotiations. <\/p>\n
Early on Friday morning, Oakland educators announced that they had reached a deal with the school district, averting a strike they had voted to go on if a deal could not be reached.<\/p>\n
The new contract includes an 11-13% raise for educators over two years along with other changes, like salary enhancements to retain credentialed teachers, substitute teachers, and social workers.<\/p>\n
The deal comes just days after a charged school board meeting, in which the Oakland Unified School Board voted to cut 400 roles to address its deficit.<\/p>\n
Oakland educators now need to vote to ratify their agreement.<\/p>\n
Across the Bay Bridge, educators in San Francisco did just that on Friday, passing their tentative agreement with 92% of the vote. Union members in classified roles \u2014 like nurses and counselors \u2014 voted \u201cyes\u201d at a slightly higher rate.<\/p>\n
The next step in the city is for the school board to ratify the agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Educators on both sides of the Bay have made progress in contract negotiations.
