    I am a teacher at Oakland International High School. I don't not think this plan is really in the best interests of Oakland families. I believe that closing public schools and moving towards privatizing 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.

    I am in complete opposition of the city wide plan as it once again reflects unfounded support of privatizing our schools . Currently so many charters are so loosely regulated, they are not able to serve students with special needs and toons you of them only encourage high achieving students (AIM). We need to invest in our public schools in a way that is authentic and actually intentional. Our youth deserve so much better than we have been giving them. Please Vote no . Thank you

    I'm a parent at Melrose Leadership Academy. It's time to fully-invest in Oakland public schools. No more billionaire-hatched schemes. Scrap the Community of Schools Policy and your racist school closure plans, and get real about Community Schools! Oakland kids deserve better!

    It is abundantly clear that this board has no regard for the voices of Oakland teachers and students. Public schools are the heart of our community and this community is worth fighting for. We are ready to fight your exploitative agenda. You are bought and bossed by outside interests whose goal is to privatize our school system to profit the few and oppress the many. But you have underestimated our power. Elections are coming.

    I’m a parent of students at Glenview at Santa Fe and I strongly oppose this plan. Oakland students need fully funded and staffed public schools, not public school closures and charters in their places. Vote no on this plan and support real public education.

    I hesitate to spend the time to submit my comment due to witnessing others strongly voice their thoughtful opinions only to be unheard and rejected. But the kids of Oakland are too important not to. Please reject the Community Schools Plan. It is not good for Oakland Kids. We need quality public schools, fully staffed, with resources abound. Sincerely, Sherry Kassenbrock, one of 22 OUSD School Nurses
