Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Oregon teachers’ strike settled; NCLB was issue
An agreement to settle a bitter teacher strike that began late last month, partly over issues surrounding the federal No Child Left Behind Act, was reached early Wednesday, representatives for both sides said.
Steve Kenney, a spokesman for the Oregon Education Association, and Wayne Kuechler, vice chairman of the Oregon Trail School Board, confirmed the settlement to The Associated Press but would not discuss the terms pending ratification votes Wednesday evening.
