After a protracted bargaining session that lasted until three in the morning on Monday, a tentative agreement to terminate the district’s teacher strike crumbled, forcing Albany schools to close for the tenth day of classes.
If the strike in Albany, a mid-sized city in the Willamette Valley, lasts past Tuesday, it will be one of the longest teacher strikes in modern Oregon history, lasting longer than the 11 days that Portland Public Schools students missed in November 2023 due to a strike by the Portland Association of Teachers.
