This is the second meeting of the year.  Where on the agenda are the proposals referenced by Ms. Grant-Dawson to help stabilize the budget long-term, such as the consolidation of contracts, staff proposal to respond to the alternative budget adjustments and the attendance requirements for out of area school choice?   The Facilities Committee already received a proposal to look at classrooms that may not be needed currently by a lower population of newcomers for use by TK and PK where demand exceeds available capacity.  Where is the proposal to freeze hiring in an area of lower population and find opportunities for current staff to support other students?  To come to longer term, sustainable solutions, the Board should be considering proposals area by area at every meeting.

I'd like to submit a document for consideration regarding the revisions to the EIP and Commission ways of supporting pathways as well as providing the community with information about how the Measure is supporting their wishes for Oakland families and young people.
