The Oakland Education Association has called for a one-day strike on Thursday, accusing the district of withholding key financial information and making cuts that impact schools. District leaders argue they have already responded to nearly all union information requests and warn that another strike could disrupt student learning and damage trust. Tensions are running high as the district faces a looming budget deficit and leadership changes, with both sides under pressure to resolve the dispute before the strike begins. School officials say campuses will stay open regardless.
