OUSD

We Want Power Returned to

Our School Board

I've received several emails in the past days from folks working with and within OUSD calling for action, asking others to sign the online petition for the power in and over our School District be returned to our School Board, and to US the residents of Oakland - who live, work and raise our children here.


Below is the body of the Email Text which began circulating upon the announcement of the departure of State Administrator Kimberley Statham last week. (Read more HERE)

We feel strongly that it is time for a return of the administrative functions of OUSD to our elected school board. With the departure of yet another State Administrator and State Superintendent Jack O'Connell's announcement of a third interim appointee to that position, instability appears to be the primary effect of the state's continued administration of our district. If you would like to see our elected school board undertake a community input process to identify and select a new Superintendent, please sign our petition and pass the link along to your school PTA lists, parents, teachers, friends, neighbors and community partners:
