| Oakland Unified is hosting a series of community meetings to discuss how the District can continue to boost student performance while remaining fiscally responsible. Meetings will be hosted by Interim Superintendent Roberta Mayor at schools throughout the city. OUSD is California’s most improved large, urban school system over the past four years, and during that time, we have taken significant steps to strengthen the District’s financial position. Yet, there is still much work to be done in order to accelerate student achievement and provide for the long-term financial stability of Oakland Unified. Meetings, to be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., will be hosted by Interim Superintendent Dr. Roberta Mayor or a member of her Senior Cabinet on the following dates: Community Engagement Meeting Schedule

Based on the District’s current fiscal situation and best practices research, OUSD is examining whether a number of its schools may be too small to both meet the needs of our students and remain economically sustainable. Voice your opinion: The community will provide feedback on the small-schools analysis and assist in determining the criteria used to identify schools that may be too small to sustain themselves. We invite the public to this discussion in the hope that we, as a community, can collectively understand and debate the criteria for improving OUSD schools so all students have a chance to succeed. |
