🤞that the PDX teacher strike resolves in the next few days. Before it does, I wanted to highlight the voices of special education families, whose kids have really struggled with the disruption to routine and consistency. https://t.co/0NSI36vm0J

Big class sizes a sticking point in Portland teacher strike: See which elementary schools have many, few or no such classes. We make it easy for you to see biggest, smallest classes in PPS plus the size of each class in any elementary school https://t.co/znruIcJxMa

[Julia Silverman @jrlsilverman]

Portland strike update:
Per *district* math, the 2 sides are still $200M+ apart.
Biggest cost differential now is class size. PAT proposal=$100M+352 new teachers. PPS=$4.5M to lower ratios.
Way closer on salary+planning time.

Portland teacher strike, latest in a West Coast wave, likely to impact dozens of Oregon districts. @JRLSilverman dives deep into context & implications https://t.co/HsHNtMGLjd

[Jamie Hale @HaleJamesB]

I remember my high school’s teacher strike fondly. It lasted 21 days, and because nobody was telling us anything or talking to us, we spent that time putting together an unauthorized issue of the school paper that we handed out when kids came back.
