At least half of the teachers in the <a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandea.org\/\">Oakland Education Association<\/a> are refusing to reenter the classroom despite making a deal with the district to open schools on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, parents voiced their frustration. They said no one seems to know if schools will even fully reopen this fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the biggest source of concern for parents right now, is that we don\u2019t actually know what fall is going to look like,\u201d explained Andrea Dooley, President of the Oakland Technical High School PTA. \u201cEveryone is confused and concerned\u2026and there\u2019s not anonymity about what it should be like, there\u2019s just confusion about what is being proposed.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OUSDNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@OUSDNews<\/a> prepares to reopen schools for in-person learning next Tuesday.
