I also must say, as i said Before that Dr. Saddler was the principal at my students last in person school. SHe made me feel comforted by keeping an extra eye out, and always making me feel like he was in good hands. I respect and Value her as a lifelong resident of Oakland, and I feel like any superintendent should have the Oakland Experience, and be from here, to best represent and Stand for Oakland Children.
Being a lifelong Oakland Resident myself, I don't think YOu need to look any further..... "Don't Look any FUrther".....
I was signed up for 3 different items, and wanted to say that, I pray that more cuts to music and arts education is off the table. I wanted to comment when the Board president asked because you've already taken 1 million away, and in violation of the process, It's hard to trust the board to make the right decisions, due to actions that have already been done. You say you care about special education students, I don't fault you for the technical problems, but the MAJORITY of you Knew I was holding, and was skipped over a couple times, but Voted, which stopped me and others from speaking about our students in sped who have no voice. My son & too many students are suffering, I'm asking the board, to work together and make decisions that won't cause more harm. I worry about more cuts, with massive facilities projects underway throughout OUSD & underenrollment Please Give them a chance to gain skills by providing the consistency they need and deserve.
