Agenda Item
18-2251 Presentation by District's Academic (Programmatic) staff of response to Measure G Committee's recommendations for improvements to the fund allocation process in the following areas:
1. Class size reduction - What's the impact of this spending on class size? What causes this spending to increase or decrease? It increased by over $1 million last year.
2. Libraries - an update on this spending
3. Recruiting - what does our Measure G spending look like in this area?
4. Music - allocation increased significantly in 2017-18. Wondering about the rationale behind that decision; and
5. Oakland Fine Arts Summer School - looks like it received no Measure G in 2017-2018
I am the librarian at Greenleaf TK-8th. Our library, now under threat, opened for service on October 20th, 2017 after a 4 year closure. Since then the elementary students have flourished with library services, circulating over 11,000 books so far. I stand with librarian staff in rejecting the new proposal to “flex” Measure G funding to all OUSD school sights. It is imperative that the funds are allocated as determined to insure equity for schools that serve students of color.
Thank you, Mariah
