A plan to overhaul five failing schools in Oakland set off a firestorm at an Oakland School Board meeting this week. Parents, teachers and students lined up to comment on a call by the new schools superintendent for outside groups, including charter schools, to submit their ideas for redesigning schools with the lowest test scores.
