Oakland teachers start their picket lines on Thursday after months of failed negotiations with the Oakland Unified School District. The teacher’s union is asking for a 12 percent pay increase and smaller class sizes. The district says they’re too financially strapped to meet the demands. Forum broadcasts from Oakland on the first day of the teacher’s strike and we’ll hear from the school board, the union, teachers and parents about what’s next for Oakland schools.
