一项新的合同避免了教师加薪和支持工作人员资金的罢工,但由于预算短缺,400个工作岗位仍将削减。
A new contract averts a strike with teacher pay hikes and support staff funding, but 400 jobs will still be cut due to budget shortfalls.
奥克兰教育协会和奥克兰统一学校区之间一项为期两年的暂定合同协议避免了教师罢工,确保了大多数教育工作者的工资增加11%,顶级教师的工资增加13%,同时还为图书管理员、社会工作者以及改进的学生支助服务提供资金。
A tentative two-year contract agreement between the Oakland Education Association and the Oakland Unified School District averted a teachers' strike, securing wage increases of 11% for most educators and 13% for top-tier teachers, along with funding for librarians, social workers, and improved student support services.
尽管如此,由于入学人数下降和联邦援助减少,造成预算短缺1亿美元,因此该区将继续削减400个工作岗位。 这一决定受到了教育者和担心基本学校计划受到伤害的家庭的批评。
Despite the deal, the district will proceed with cutting 400 jobs due to a $100 million budget shortfall caused by declining enrollment and reduced federal aid, a decision met with criticism from educators and families who fear harm to essential school programs.
目前,该协议正在等待工会成员和学校董事会的批准。
The agreement now awaits ratification by union members and the school board.
