    I strongly support a 21st Century Alt Ed Hub at 1025 2nd Ave. that offers full-service wrap-around programs designed to serve high school students needing alt pathways to post-secondary success in college or career.I urge you to include funding for the construction of the Hub in the facilities bond in November.Hundreds of students drop out of Oakland schools yearly. Many obtain a diploma but not engaged in post-secondary education or career training to prepare for their future.The pandemic and the response to it will exacerbate the inequities and challenges these young people face.Change this by investing in the future of our students most impacted by trauma and systemic failure.This vision starts from students needs and is informed by the voices of students.The vision:career technical education,trauma informed,healing practice,supported transitions to post-secondary success,intensive wrap-around services and housing.We urge you to include funding for the Hub in November 2020 bond.
