PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A school district east of Portland has canceled classes for Wednesday as a strike deadline looms and contract talks continue with teachers.

The teachers union, the Gresham-Barlow Education Association, offered a contract proposal to the district Monday night. The district made a counterproposal at mid-day Tuesday, then announced there would be no classes Wednesday.

The teachers union has said it would strike on Wednesday if no agreement is reached.

Issues include salary, preparation time and what the union describes as teacher safety concerns.
