The NewsThe union representing teachers, counselors and other school employees in Portland, Ore., reached a tentative deal with the city's public school district on Sunday, ending a strike that has kept nearly 45,000 students out of classes for more than three weeks in Oregon’s largest district.
That is about in the middle of what the district had offered and what the union had asked for at the start of the strike.
The strike has drawn attention to public school funding in Oregon.
(Minneapolis students missed 14 school days during a strike last year.)
The strike, which kept students out of school for nearly the entire month of November, could risk amplifying that message in Portland.
