Our coalition stands with thousands of Oaklanders to demand:

1. STOP SCHOOL CLOSURES

Scrap the Blueprint for “Quality Schools” and declare a moratorium on school closures and consolidations until the summer of 2022, giving time for us to assess the impact of the Schools and Communities First Act, if it passes in November of 2020

2. END THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE

Dismantle the school to prison pipeline. Don’t fund the Alameda County probation camp while starving traditional Public Schools. Eliminate OUSD police in accordance with the Black Organizing Project’s People’s Plan and demand that OUSD redirect the OUSD police budget to restorative practices at high-need schools.

3. STOP THE CHARTER SCHOOL TAKEOVER

Reverse the Community of Schools board policy, BP 6006, that will help turn the rest of our  Public Schools over to Charter School Management Companies.

4. LET THE PEOPLE SEE THE MONEY

Involve the People of Oakland in reforming and making decisions around OUSD finances.
