    Oakland Does not need this portfolio model, “Community of Schools,” which will further erode public education for our students and their families. We need to invest properly in the schools we have. New Highland Academy, where I teach, needs to be fully funded and supported, not closed. I oppose this plan.

    I am a teacher in Oakland. I know that closing public schools and implementing other billionaires mandated 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. They do not need money syphoned out of the public schools. The children of Oakland do not need their schools to follow New Orleans. I oppose the Community of Schools plan and ask that you reject it.

    Charter schools are a bad idea for Oakland, I have been a teacher in one of them. They burn out teachers. And they undermine the city by pitting neighborhood schools against each other. They are a way the rich can run our country. I urge you not to vote to support their “plan” fo us.

    Do not affirm this plan backed by outside billionaires to close our schools while supporting the unchecked growth of charters! I am an employee, parent and Oakland voter!!

    I am a counselor at Alliance Academy, and I know that closing public schools and implementing other billionaire-hatched schemes isn't what Oakland kids need to thrive. I also want to make clear that I am part of a large union-supported group that has organized to actively ensure that all board members who support measures like this are voted off the school board at their next election, or recalled sooner. The jig is up -- support Oakland's public schools properly or be removed.
