According to an article by Ben Senger on kptv.com the teacher’s union and the district plan to stay at the bargaining table as long as negotiations are productive prior to this week’s strike.

With that said, teachers are prepared to begin striking on Thursday with a few smaller demonstrations planned for today and tomorrow.

How will this affect you? Your children? Your community?  I encourage you to contact school officials to get those answers before it’s too late.

503tv stands behind Portland teachers and hope for the best possible outcome for them and most importantly Portland students.
