Striking Oakland teachers announced tentative agreements with school officials on so-called common good issues including housing and transportation, historically black schools, school closures and state grants.
The announcement on the Oakland Education Association's website came with nine school days remaining in the year for 35,000 students. The teacher walkout passed its seventh day on Friday. The union represents about 3,000 teachers and other employees.
“A full tentative agreement will be put forward for a vote by all OEA members," the union said on its website. "Once a full tentative agreement is complete and is approved by the bargaining team, it will be ready for membership to view and ratify."
There was no announcement of when contract negotiations might conclude, or when a ratification vote will be set.
