The Oakland Unified School District announced on Friday it is officially notifying parents and students that five schools previously slated for closure at the end of the year will now stay open.
the school board's decision this past Wednesday nightVeasey said those were happy tears. Her son, Jordan, attends transitional kindergarten at Carl B. Munck Elementary, which was set to close in June.
"These kids were out of school for a year and a half due to the pandemic. And they come back and now it's like, 'My school might not be here,' that's even more traumatic," said Veasey. Hutchinson blamed years of financial mismanagement for previous budget shortfalls. The district is still under receivership because the state took it over after Oakland Unified ran out of money 20 years ago.
"We need to be taking a look at the budget as a whole and making sure that if cuts are needed, they're as far away from the classrooms as possible," said Bachelor.
