22-1734 Approval by the Board of Education of Resolution No. 2122-0099 - Provisional Appointment to Fill the Board of Education Member Vacancy in District 6.
My name is Savitha Moorthy and I am the Executive Director of Tandem, Partners in Early Learning, a early childhood education organization Our agency has a significant presence in Oakland, including a robust partnership with OUSD and the City of Oakland Head Start. Over the course of the last three years, I have come to know Kyra Mungia well -- and I am writing, in a personal capacity, in support of her appointment to fill the vacancy in District 6.
Kyra would bring to this role an impressive background in education, and experiences from multiple perspectives from practice (she's been a kindergarten and first grade teacher at OUSD), a nonprofit leader (from her work at Oakland Promise), and a policymaker (from her experience at the Office of the Mayor). She is passionate about supporting the children, families, and educators of Oakland and she brings a no-nonsense commitment to equity. I can not think of anyone more qualified for the board seat. Please select Kyra!
