The Latest: Fewer Oklahoma teachers back at state Capitol

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The Latest on teacher walkouts and a rally in Kentucky (all times local):

1:15 p.m.

Thousands of Oklahoma teachers and their supporters descended on the state Capitol again, but crowds were noticeably smaller after the state's largest teachers union called for the walkout to end.

Some of the state's largest districts, including Oklahoma City and Tulsa, already had planned to close on Friday for a tenth consecutive day after frustrated teachers walked off their jobs demanding more funding for classrooms.

Many districts plan to reopen on Monday but intend to keep sending delegations of teachers to meet with lawmakers.
