After months of bargaining, the Portland Association of Teachers has given official notice that it will go on strike beginning Wednesday, Nov. 1, in what would be the first-ever teachers strike in the district.
The teachers union notified Portland Public Schools Thursday that it intends to strike after association members voted this week to authorize it. The district sent out an announcement to families and a statement to the press late Thursday evening about the vote.
The union sent a letter to educators Thursday night, reporting that 93% of PAT members participated in the vote and 98.9% voted to authorize a strike.

..."Today’s students and their educators face complex challenges,” they wrote. “With mediation nearing conclusion, we urge the two sides to bargain in good faith centering student success by reducing class size, fairly compensating educators, strengthening equity and ensuring school safety.”
Portland Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero responded to the lawmakers this week, in part, stressing the importance of more federal funding for students with disabilities and lower-income communities.
