'Oakland is a union town!' There was a strong display of support for Oakland Unified School District teachers who held a one-day strike on Friday in protest of the closure and consolidation of several schools.
The district's plan will impact 11 schools over the next two years and has been approved by the board.
Added Annie Tielman, another parent, "Don't close these schools until you heard us, until you listen to us, until we have time to talk about this. And then the school board just ignored us."Hundreds of Oakland Unified teachers were out on the picket lines on Friday, protesting the closure and consolidation of 11 schools over the next two years.

However, Oakland Education Association, which called Friday an unfair labor practices strike, blames the district for the drops in enrollment and "being underfunded for so many years." "Closing schools hurts students, and it hurts neighborhoods... Especially in Black and brown communities," Princess Moss, vice president of the National Education Association said Friday.
