OAKLAND -- Ending months of protest by parents, teachers and students, the Oakland school board late Wednesday voted to reverse a decision to close or consolidate several schools.
The vote to reverse the decision passed by a 6-1 margin with newly sworn in member Nick Resnick abstaining. State educators and Oakland Unified said the district had way too many schools after losing 15,000 students in the last 20 years. Parents and teachers picketed, students walked out. Two Oakland Unified School District teachers staged an 18-day hunger strike that ended up with one of them requiring hospital treatment.
