    I wholeheartedly support the amendment that will be brought before the School Board tonight regarding school closures. No school closures should be accepted in Oakland. Our students depend upon our neighborhood schools. Your current plans to close or merge 11 Oakland public schools in predominantly Black and Brown communities are unacceptable.

    As a resident of District 3 in Oakland, I support the amendment to postpone closures at Community Day School and Parker and the truncation at La Escuelita. I also demand:
    1. That OUSD move forward with an Equity Impact Analysis of the final, amended list of closures
    2. That OUSD follow its Reparations for Black Students resolution and protect schools with many Black students from closure and its Community Engagement resolution
    3. That OUSD conduct a fiscal analysis of the revised plans for closures and truncations.
    Additionally I urge the School Board to read and abide by the list of demands of the Convocation for Student Justice Hunger Strike on their Instagram @hungerstrike4oaklandschools

    I oppose all the school closures and support this resolution to delay this decision.

    I join with fellow Oakland community members to demand the following:
    1. That OUSD move forward with an Equity Impact Analysis of the final, amended list of closures; and
    2. That OUSD conduct a fiscal analysis of the revised plans for closures and truncations.

    This closure process - and its amendments - have been chaotic, non-strategic, and problematic from start to finish. Pushing back these closures and the truncation means there is time for the District to study the equity and fiscal impact of these changes, and determine whether they are truly worth the community cost. Please address the larger issues of this crises with comprehensive and strategic planning that keeps equity at the center of final decisions.

    School closures are detrimental to communities, particularly Black and Brown ones, and I am 100% against them! We can work together to find another resolution. Give families their schools back and show OUSD students that their education and well-being matters to you!

    Schools have been an anchor for so many families during this profoundly trying time--a time of loss, isolation, mental health challenges, economic precarity, and so much more. While I don't believe that all school consolidations/closures are the same (I.e. they can be designed with a focus on putting the onus on White and/or privileged families to do the harder work), I believe postponing these closures is the right thing to do given the time we are all living in.
