    I am a 20-year teaching veteran in OUSD, addressing the Board because I have significant concerns regarding the way that enrollment in inclusive services has been shifted for next year, without, in my opinion, full parent understanding or district level transparency for teachers or staff.

    If you are the parent of a child receiving inclusive services, I encourage you to request an IEP meeting to ensure that her service needs are comprehensively documented and that you understand how they may be met differently next year. If you are a teacher, I suggest you contact the union. If you are a principal, make sure you have the information you need. And…if you are a person in power who has an interest in this teacher’s perspective… please feel free to contact me.

    We can and must do better for all children. I applaud the District’s spoken commitment to equity and access. But a badly done thing, done in the service of a good ideal…is not an aggregate gain for the children of Oakland.

    I stand in solidarity tonight with the students and educators at MetWest High School who deserve to be treated so much better by OUSD. Rescind the MetWest non-relects. Support educators, not bully or intimidate.
