1Oakland Vision: We envision an Oakland united around a citywide school system that is equitable, data-driven, and committed to continuous improvement. In doing so, it must be sustainable and must make good on our promise to educate all students. In this Oakland, high-quality neighborhood schools exist with strong feeder patterns. School choice primarily serves to help meet specific family needs and to provide access to specialized programs — rather than as an escape hatch for families trying to avoid low-quality options.Recommendations: Improve school quality consistently. Ensure that our school system is sustainable while meeting student and family needs. Reimagine and redesign OUSD’s central office. Oakland's charter school boards must embrace their essential role in an equitable citywide system.
