    Board Members, do the right thing and vote YES on the Reparations for Black Students Resolution! If you care about Black children and families, this resolution puts forth solutions that put that deep care into action. Community members, families, students, and teachers know what Black students need to feel safe and thrive in schools and that reverberates out into the community. For too long, Black students and families have been deprioritized and disinvested. It's time to reinvest in Black children, families, teachers, and staff within OUSD. Do the right thing and vote YES!

    Greetings OUSD school board members. A vote of YES for this resolution is not a request. It’s a demand. You owe it to the students in OUSD and their families to end the cycle of harm and institutional racism and to FINALLY prove to the students of OUSD that you care and that their lives matter!

    I am writing to ask you to support the Reparations for Black Students resolution on the agenda for tonight's OUSD Board meeting. I am a resident of District 2 and the parent of an OUSD 1st grader and another future OUSD student.

    Our city and school district boast of being among the most diverse in the nation, yet we have not accounted for decades of divestment in Black students and communities. Resolution 2021-0037 is the beginning of a long overdue reinvestment in Black students and communities, and I hope you will support it at tonight's meeting.

    “Please VOTE YES on the Reparations for Black Students Resolution - to repair the harm caused by decades of disinvestment - and to reinvest in Black students, families, schools, and staff in OUSD." As an OUSD forty year veteran teacher and principal, I wholeheartedly endorse this resolution. It identifies and seeks to rectify the actions which have supported Anti-Black Racism in the district. Among other things, I have witnessed school closures of predominately Black schools which virtually displaced students and fractured communities and have seen Black families marginalized in parent groups at schools. It is our obligation to adopt a comprehensive, focused plan which truy supports our Black students and families.
