TROUTDALE, Ore. (AP) — Teachers in the Reynolds School District in the east Portland suburb of Troutdale have voted to authorize a strike on May 21 if no contract agreement is reached by then.
Reynolds Education Association President Joyce Rosenau said teachers voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to support a strike.
The Oregonian reports that issues for teachers include planning time and other working conditions, as well as how to spend an $18 million surplus.
