    If you haven’t already, I want to encourage you to watch the 30 minute video response that Kareem Weaver of NAACP Oakland recorded in response to the OUSD curriculum committee announcement recommending EL Education rather than Bookworms.

    If we don’t get early literacy right, it’s hard to get anything else right in our elementary schools or thereafter. Early literacy is the key that unlocks everything else.

    For my oldest child, reading seemed effortless. On the other hand, my daughter really struggled with learning to read. She's now above grade level thanks to the hard work of her 1st grade teacher who is an absolute expert at foundational skills and the structured approach to teaching reading.

    We should consider which curriculum has the strongest evidence of effectiveness and has the highest probability of success for the greatest number of our students. We should also be open to the idea that it may make sense to have one curriculum for K-2 and another curriculum for 3-5

    I want to thank to Board for all the support they provided in maintaining the current leadership structure @ Frick United. It is key to allowing our school community to grow and thrive.

    S-2. 1-0012 Board Policy - Students - BP 5115 - Enrollment Stabilization (New) (Second Reading)
    On behalf of myself and the Wellstone Democratic Club I hope you will vote to adopt the enrollment policy proposal by Director Gonzales WITHOUT amendment. Most importantly the proposed policy would help the District survive the downturn in enrollment and our ADA funds by not using its precious resources to support the drain of students from our public schools to charter schools via our website's advertising and directing potential OUSD students to the privately owned competition.
