Parents with children at Oak Harbor Public Schools should get prepared for a teacher walkout scheduled for May 1.

Members of the teacher’s union, the Oak Harbor Education Association, voted earlier this week to protest what they say is inadequate funding for public schools by state lawmakers.

The school district will likely handle it like a snow day and cancel school, said Oak Harbor Public Schools Spokeswoman Kellie Tormey. Parents will be informed in advance and need to keep students home.

The day would be made up May 26, a day that was already set aside as an emergency closure make-up day.

On May 1, all evening events and athletic activities will be held as scheduled.

Tormey emphasized this decision comes from teachers, not from the district administration and had no other comment.
