[Yes on Prop 15! (Schools & Communities First) @Schools1stCA]

Just like in business, we've got to look forward to succeed. That's why it's time wealthy corporations finally began paying their fair share so we can invest in our students, schools, and vital services. For a brighter California. #YesOn15 #Prop15

I’m so grateful for @MarkForOakland and so many Oakland leaders who have put literacy at the center of the school board election this year. It’s an imperative for the next board!

Yes - we are still focused on the issues...

Today I join school board candidates @AustinForOUSD, @maiyaforoakland, @lrgaines, Dr. Clifford Thompson and Jorge Lerma in calling for #LiteracyAndJusticeForALL — we need a school board that is focused on student learning, and that starts with literacy!

These are critical moments for our community to weigh in and inform the district's priorities. I hope you'll join OUSD Board President @votejodylondon on Monday to learn more and provide your perspective.

Edna Brewer Middle School in Oakland’s Glenview neighborhood is one of the district’s most diverse schools, and teachers and parents have a plan to keep it that way.

This is a helpful look at early evidence related to school reopening. As OUSD considers how our community plans to return, we must be committed to safety and rooted in what’s working.
