I am a parent at Kaiser Elementary, and I know that closing public schools and implementing other billionaire-hatched schemes isn't what Oakland kids need to thrive. Oakland kids need strong community public schools, that are fully-funded and staffed to give them the support and stability they need. I oppose the Community of Schools plan and call on you to reject it
I am a teacher and parent at Manzanita SEED, and I know that closing public schools isn't what Oakland kids need to thrive. Oakland kids need strong community public schools, that are fully-funded and staffed to give them the support and stability they need. I oppose the Community of Schools plan and call on you to reject it.
As a parent of a Roots Student I am very saddened by the way this school board has not listened to our youth that has literally cried and said “please fund our schools and programs”
The board was voted in to represent us the people but all they do is represent themselves and their political interests
I am a teacher at SEED and a parent at SEED and UFSA. The insecurity in both schools regarding the possiblity of closure, consolidation or movement of school communities is extremely frustrating. Our schools need more resources, not closure or consolidation. If the district invested the resources that have gone into the creation and marketing of the blueprint, North Star or community of schools plan into our schools that serve our most needy students we would see much more benefit.
The community does NOT want more charter schools. Instead of creating a parallel system with money and ideas from people who are not educators, fix the existing schools!!!!
I am a parent with a child at Glenview Elementary and Edna Brewer Middle schools, and I know that closing public schools and implementing other billionaire-backed plans is NOT what Oakland kids need to thrive. Oakland kids need strong community public schools, that are fully-funded and staffed to give them the support and stability they need. I oppose the Community of Schools plan and call on you to reject it.
I am a teacher at Montclair, and I know that closing public schools and implementing a pro-charter portfolio of failure isn't what Oakland kids need to thrive. Oakland kids need strong community public schools, that are fully-funded and staffed to give them the support and stability they need. I oppose the Community of Schools plan and call on you to reject it.
As a teacher, we need to make sure we are supporting all public schools using public funds, and not close public schools who are important components of their communities. This Community of Schools plan would be a step to gut public education in Oakland. I oppose the Community of Schools plan, and it should be rejected by the school board.

I am a parent with a child at Glenview Elementary school, and I am writing to strongly oppose Oakland becoming a "portfolio district". We do not need more charter schools and we do not need billionaires with no education experience telling us how to run our schools. We need to support ALL of the students and teachers in Oakland, not just those who decide to choose a charter school. I oppose the Community of Schools plan and call on you to reject it.
I was a social worker in OUSD for 4 years, and I know that closing public schools and implementing other billionaire-hatched schemes isn't what Oakland kids need to thrive.

I oppose the Community of Schools plan and call on you to reject it.
I am a parent with children at Glenview school, and oppose closing public schools to enable libertarian fantasies. We need strong public schools and neighborhood support, not having schools compete in a knife fight for resources. Please reject this plan.
I am a teacher at Community United Elementary and I hope that you will continue to listen to the community and vote for our public school students. I believe that this plan does not do enough for the community. I am also a parent and want my own children as well as my students to have a quality public school.
My children attend Glenview Elementary. I strongly oppose the Community of Schools plan and call on you to reject it. Closing public schools and implementing other ineffective billionaire-funded plans isn't what Oakland kids need to thrive. Oakland kids need strong community public schools that are fully-funded and staffed to give them the support and stability they need.
I'm a parent with kids at Edna Brewer Middle and Glenview Elementary. Closing public schools and implementing other billionaire-hatched schemes isn't what Oakland kids, their families, and the Oakland community at large (a community that would benefit from a strong public school system) need to thrive. We need strong community public schools that are fully-funded and staffed to give kids the support and stability they need. I oppose the Community of Schools plan and call on you to reject it.
I am a parent at Skyline. My children had the benefit of attending all three of our neighborhood public schools. They went to high school with the same students they met in kindergarten. Closing public schools in favor of billionaire-owned real estate schemes won't help Oakland students. Students need community schools that have experienced teachers and fully funded programs, such as music, art, gardening, libraries, GATE, and special ed. I oppose the Community of Schools plan. Please vote no.
I am a parent of a child at Kaiser Elementary and I STRONGLY OPPOSE the move to adopt this policy both on principle and on policy. You have not sufficiently engaged the community in this plan, and any changes that would negatively impact/disrupt students, families and on-site staff should be taken only after the offices have set their mismanagement of funds to rights. On principle, this plan is a pretty veneer painted on a policy worse than NCLB.
