"content": "\u003cp>Finding housing was one of the first challenges Alyssa Mathiowetz faced as a new graduate student at UC Berkeley. She landed a room in a shared house near campus, but it came with a steep price tag: $1,500 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely on the expensive side,” said the Ph.D. student in metabolic biology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mathiowetz’s rent could soon decrease, however, thanks to a new home-sharing program that matches graduate students looking for housing with retirees who have extra space in their homes. Its organizers hope the program will prove successful enough to export to other University of California campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College students have been \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/homeless-college-students-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hit hard\u003c/a> by California’s housing crisis, struggling to find affordable digs near campuses that in many cases are located in the state’s priciest markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median apartment rent in Berkeley tops $3,500 per month, according to real estate website Zillow. On-campus housing is scarce, and 10 percent of students in a \u003ca href=\"https://housing.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/HousingSurvey_03022018.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent survey\u003c/a> reported being homeless at some point in their college careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, along the city’s idyllic, tree-lined streets, aging homeowners who bought in decades ago have stayed put as property values rose around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staff at Berkeley’s Retirement Center started strategizing last year about how to bring the two groups together. They won a grant from the chancellor’s office for a \u003ca href=\"https://retirement.berkeley.edu/berkeley-home-match\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pilot program\u003c/a> that will match six students with senior hosts for the spring semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to continue living in their homes, and people are living longer and retiring later,” said Andy Gaines, the executive director of Ashby Village, a nonprofit serving senior citizens that’s partnering with UC Berkeley on the project. “And oftentimes as people retire from the workforce and their friends and family die or move away, they are left more isolated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing their homes with students can provide seniors with a sense of community, Gaines said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students will pay below-market rent — less than $1,000 per month — or bedrooms inside the homes of retired university faculty and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sounds like a bargain to Mathiowetz, who attended a recent information session. She saw other potential benefits, too. “It’d be great to get to learn more about the university and what it was like back then when they were working,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the meeting, graduate student Rachel Bell coached interested students on writing enticing but honest bios outlining their interests and lifestyle. If you have a pet, Bell urged the students, mention it up front. Don’t wait for it to come up later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those profiles are passed on to homeowners, who — after both parties pass background checks — go on “dates” with prospective housemates until a match is found. Both parties then sign a “Living Together Agreement” detailing everything from acceptable TV-watching hours to who cleans the bathroom. The goal is to have participants living together by early February, said Retirement Center Director Cary Sweeney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11674216\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-800x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11674216\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-800x500.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-960x600.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-240x150.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-375x234.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-520x325.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students entering the UC Berkeley campus via Sather Gate. Berkeley students often struggle to find housing in one of the state’s most expensive markets. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While students can help their hosts with other household tasks, it’s not required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The intention is it’s about building a relationship, and the support grows out naturally from that relationship,” Sweeney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interest in intergenerational living is percolating on a number of campuses nationwide. At rural Humboldt State, thriving cannabis and vacation rental industries have put pressure on already limited housing stock. Campus staff have collaborated with a local senior agency to host community events where seniors and students sign up for the online platform Silvernest, which connects potential housemates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students at New York University can dodge the Big Apple’s famous broker fees by applying to share apartments with seniors through the New York Foundation for Senior Citizens. Only four pairs of housemates have been matched so far, but Emily Gadd, who helps coordinate the program for NYU, says she expects interest to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our guess is that in five years this is going to be something happening all over the country,” Gadd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Anirban Karak’s friends were surprised to learn that his housemate was nearly 80, reports the Ph.D. student at NYU. But adjusting to each other was “smoother than I expected,” Karak said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two shared a three-bedroom apartment in Queens for a semester and would have lunch or go shopping together several times per month. Karak, who is studying South Asian history, had a long research trip planned and was relieved not to have to set up a household by himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His housemate, who had also studied history before going into publishing “was quite well traveled, and had been to parts of Africa and China,” Karak said. “There was a lot that we could talk about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, for some older homeowners, inviting someone new into their space might be a hard sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edward Vine, a former scientist at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and his wife have been hosting her 19-year-old cousin in their Mediterranean-style home in the Berkeley hills. Her room has a separate entrance, and Vine says overall he’s enjoyed helping her as she figures out her next steps in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are a few challenges, such as when Vine — who made a career studying energy efficiency — hears his house guest taking extra-long showers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can hear the shower in the whole house, and it’s like, how long should the shower be on?” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when an email dropped into his inbox asking him if he wanted to participate in Berkeley’s home-sharing program, it gave him pause. His three sons are grown, and once his wife’s cousin moves out, he expects they’ll go back to being empty nesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve gotten used to having nobody besides ourselves, and we like it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Playing matchmaker between students and seniors can also be labor intensive, which might be why existing programs tend to be small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been lots of excitement, but sometimes that doesn’t turn into reality,” said Dan Birmingham, a former program manager at the Area 1 Agency on Aging who organized the Humboldt workshops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the Berkeley program more attractive to homeowners, organizers chose to focus on graduate students, with their reputation for being more responsible and studious than undergrads.

She landed a room in a shared house near campus, but it came with a steep price tag: $1,500 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely on the expensive side,” said the Ph.D. student in metabolic biology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mathiowetz’s rent could soon decrease, however, thanks to a new home-sharing program that matches graduate students looking for housing with retirees who have extra space in their homes. Its organizers hope the program will prove successful enough to export to other University of California campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College students have been \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/homeless-college-students-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hit hard\u003c/a> by California’s housing crisis, struggling to find affordable digs near campuses that in many cases are located in the state’s priciest markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median apartment rent in Berkeley tops $3,500 per month, according to real estate website Zillow. On-campus housing is scarce, and 10 percent of students in a \u003ca href=\"https://housing.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/HousingSurvey_03022018.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent survey\u003c/a> reported being homeless at some point in their college careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They won a grant from the chancellor’s office for a \u003ca href=\"https://retirement.berkeley.edu/berkeley-home-match\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pilot program\u003c/a> that will match six students with senior hosts for the spring semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to continue living in their homes, and people are living longer and retiring later,” said Andy Gaines, the executive director of Ashby Village, a nonprofit serving senior citizens that’s partnering with UC Berkeley on the project. “And oftentimes as people retire from the workforce and their friends and family die or move away, they are left more isolated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing their homes with students can provide seniors with a sense of community, Gaines said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students will pay below-market rent — less than $1,000 per month — or bedrooms inside the homes of retired university faculty and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sounds like a bargain to Mathiowetz, who attended a recent information session. She saw other potential benefits, too. “It’d be great to get to learn more about the university and what it was like back then when they were working,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the meeting, graduate student Rachel Bell coached interested students on writing enticing but honest bios outlining their interests and lifestyle. If you have a pet, Bell urged the students, mention it up front. Don’t wait for it to come up later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those profiles are passed on to homeowners, who — after both parties pass background checks — go on “dates” with prospective housemates until a match is found. Both parties then sign a “Living Together Agreement” detailing everything from acceptable TV-watching hours to who cleans the bathroom. The goal is to have participants living together by early February, said Retirement Center Director Cary Sweeney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11674216\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-800x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11674216\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-800x500.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-960x600.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-240x150.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-375x234.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640-520x325.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/COLLEGE-COSTS-Photo-1-1024x640.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students entering the UC Berkeley campus via Sather Gate.

At rural Humboldt State, thriving cannabis and vacation rental industries have put pressure on already limited housing stock. Campus staff have collaborated with a local senior agency to host community events where seniors and students sign up for the online platform Silvernest, which connects potential housemates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students at New York University can dodge the Big Apple’s famous broker fees by applying to share apartments with seniors through the New York Foundation for Senior Citizens. Only four pairs of housemates have been matched so far, but Emily Gadd, who helps coordinate the program for NYU, says she expects interest to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our guess is that in five years this is going to be something happening all over the country,” Gadd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Anirban Karak’s friends were surprised to learn that his housemate was nearly 80, reports the Ph.D. student at NYU. But adjusting to each other was “smoother than I expected,” Karak said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two shared a three-bedroom apartment in Queens for a semester and would have lunch or go shopping together several times per month. Karak, who is studying South Asian history, had a long research trip planned and was relieved not to have to set up a household by himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His housemate, who had also studied history before going into publishing “was quite well traveled, and had been to parts of Africa and China,” Karak said. “There was a lot that we could talk about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, for some older homeowners, inviting someone new into their space might be a hard sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edward Vine, a former scientist at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and his wife have been hosting her 19-year-old cousin in their Mediterranean-style home in the Berkeley hills. Her room has a separate entrance, and Vine says overall he’s enjoyed helping her as she figures out her next steps in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are a few challenges, such as when Vine — who made a career studying energy efficiency — hears his house guest taking extra-long showers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can hear the shower in the whole house, and it’s like, how long should the shower be on?” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when an email dropped into his inbox asking him if he wanted to participate in Berkeley’s home-sharing program, it gave him pause. His three sons are grown, and once his wife’s cousin moves out, he expects they’ll go back to being empty nesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve gotten used to having nobody besides ourselves, and we like it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Playing matchmaker between students and seniors can also be labor intensive, which might be why existing programs tend to be small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been lots of excitement, but sometimes that doesn’t turn into reality,” said Dan Birmingham, a former program manager at the Area 1 Agency on Aging who organized the Humboldt workshops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the Berkeley program more attractive to homeowners, organizers chose to focus on graduate students, with their reputation for being more responsible and studious than undergrads. They figured the 16,000 former university employees the Retirement Center serves would have strong ties to campus and might be willing to serve as hosts. Several thousand of those live within a few miles of campus, Sweeney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This being a university, organizers will also closely study the pilot’s impact.

Here are some key details to help you prepare.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How many teachers are going on strike?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Education Association, which called the strike, represents about 2,300 classroom teachers.

A student who does not come to school can’t attend an after-school program, it said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What about school sports teams?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/oal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Athletic League\u003c/a> is canceling some extracurricular sports activities during the strike. Call them with specific questions: 510-879-2846.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, all middle school sports this weekend are cancelled, according to district spokesman John Sasaki. Spring sports competitions are also postponed. However, winter sports playoffs will continue as planned and school sites will individually determine whether to hold after-school practices. Parents should call their children’s schools for specific information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How will temporary teachers be vetted?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The district says it’s reviewing the work references, fingerprints and health clearances for all the temporary teachers it’s hiring to do fill-in work during the strike. These short-term substitutes will get paid $300 a day, according to the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Are charter schools affected?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No, Oakland charter schools are not part of the strike, nor are the teachers who work for them or the nearly 14,000 students who attend them. However, some charter school teachers have joined district teachers on the picket line in previous labor actions in solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How much money does OUSD stand to lose if students stay home during the strike?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On the fourth day of the strike, Oakland Unified spokesman John Sasaki said an average of about 6 percent of all students have attended school during the strike. That massive lack of attendance amounts to roughly $1 million net loss per day for the district, he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasaki added: “It is unclear as yet how the loss of any funding because of the strike will affect the overall budget issues. But in a school district with tight financial constraints such as OUSD, any money that’s lost adds to the challenge of balancing the budget.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Will striking teachers get any financial support?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Striking teachers don’t receive any pay from the district (and can’t use sick days), but the union has created a strike fund, and is working with a community bank that will offer low-interest loans to teachers in need. There have also been some fundraising efforts organized by parents as well as teachers from other districts to support Oakland teachers who could experience financial hardship. Among them, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/teacher-activism-in-california-takes-on-an-increasingly-red-hue/608745\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the United Teachers of Richmond\u003c/a> has already contributed $1,000 to Oakland’s Bread for ED fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How can I find out more or get involved in organizing efforts?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are multiple strategy sessions for parents and community members being held this week, including one planned for \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/617507362021956/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuesday\u003c/a> and another on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/588845998255191/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, check out OUSD’s FAQ \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/132NEBoTH02msc_fGSRvOft66jsoGs3Cg80bYIaIGxj4/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a> and OEA’s FAQ for families \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandea.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Potential-Oakland-Teacher-Strike-Family-FAQ-ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Parents should call their children’s schools for specific information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How will temporary teachers be vetted?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The district says it’s reviewing the work references, fingerprints and health clearances for all the temporary teachers it’s hiring to do fill-in work during the strike. These short-term substitutes will get paid $300 a day, according to the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Are charter schools affected?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No, Oakland charter schools are not part of the strike, nor are the teachers who work for them or the nearly 14,000 students who attend them. However, some charter school teachers have joined district teachers on the picket line in previous labor actions in solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How much money does OUSD stand to lose if students stay home during the strike?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On the fourth day of the strike, Oakland Unified spokesman John Sasaki said an average of about 6 percent of all students have attended school during the strike. That massive lack of attendance amounts to roughly $1 million net loss per day for the district, he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasaki added: “It is unclear as yet how the loss of any funding because of the strike will affect the overall budget issues. But in a school district with tight financial constraints such as OUSD, any money that’s lost adds to the challenge of balancing the budget.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Will striking teachers get any financial support?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Striking teachers don’t receive any pay from the district (and can’t use sick days), but the union has created a strike fund, and is working with a community bank that will offer low-interest loans to teachers in need. There have also been some fundraising efforts organized by parents as well as teachers from other districts to support Oakland teachers who could experience financial hardship. Among them, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/teacher-activism-in-california-takes-on-an-increasingly-red-hue/608745\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the United Teachers of Richmond\u003c/a> has already contributed $1,000 to Oakland’s Bread for ED fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How can I find out more or get involved in organizing efforts?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There are multiple strategy sessions for parents and community members being held this week, including one planned for \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/617507362021956/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuesday\u003c/a> and another on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/588845998255191/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We know that our students and our families don't want to strike, and we know that the district doesn't want to strike,\" Sasaki said. He said the district invited the union back to the negotiating table on Saturday morning in order to present an updated \"comprehensive proposal,\" of which he declined to discuss specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Oakland Schools: Put to the Test\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723411/oakland-teachers-say-theyre-willing-to-strike-heres-what-that-means,Oakland teachers are ready to strike.

He said the specifics of the school day will differ from school to school depending on how many regular teachers show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the final step of negotiations as mandated by state law, a neutral fact-finder appointed by the state released a \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sSHkn3IwBmO-zewwFcfFhdvvc_RjKVyZ/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">non-binding report\u003c/a> of recommendations to the union and district on Friday. Sasaki said the district believes the report provided a \"good foundation\" for finding a solution without a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s latest public offer included a salary increase of 5 percent over three years and marginal class-size cuts for some grades and classes. It’s also offering a special education class size cap of 15 students per teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a far cry from teachers' demands for a 12 percent pay increase over three years, graduated class-size reductions over the next two years and deeper class-size reductions in schools where 75 percent or more of students are low-income, foster youth, homeless or English learners. They're also asking for smaller caseloads for support staff like nurses, counselors and therapists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Najeeb Khoury, the neutral fact-finder, recommended a new contract that would last through the 2019-2020 school year and would include 3 percent pay increases over the first two years and reopen talks for a salary increase in the third year. However, he also encouraged the two sides to explore a contract that would run through the summer of 2021 and could include greater salary increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland teachers are among the \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/teacher-salaries-in-bay-area-counties-2016-17/599272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lowest paid\u003c/a> in the Bay Area, even when taking benefits into account, according to an analysis by School Services of California, a consulting firm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s current education funding system is complicated and flawed in a number of ways,\" Khoury wrote in his report. \"These flaws make finding resolutions to this contract and other teacher contracts throughout the state very difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/oaklandschools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See More of KQED's Coverage of the Debates Surrounding Oakland Schools\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/oaklandschools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RootsIntlAcademy.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Khoury agreed that cutting class sizes would improve the district's poor \u003ca href=\"https://dashboards.ousd.org/views/SRA1718_10TEACHER_RETENTION_EXPERIENCE_0/TeacherRetention?iframeSizedToWindow=true&:embed=y&:showAppBanner=false&:display_count=no&:showVizHome=no\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teacher retention\u003c/a>, but only recommended reducing classes across the board by one student by July 2020, with implementation happening at the highest-needs schools first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disagreements between the teachers and the district are exacerbated by OUSD's roughly $30 million budget deficit, which it has to significantly reduce to avoid being taken over by the state. To help cut costs, the district has proposed closing and consolidating up to 24 of its 87 school sites, a plan that’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11722135/oakland-unifieds-hella-hard-week\">proven highly controversial\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers and parents who spoke at the announcement took particular aim at the district's decision to encourage the proliferation of and coordination with charter schools in Oakland, in line with what's known as the \"\u003ca href=\"https://chalkbeat.org/posts/us/2018/07/03/the-oakland-school-board-is-pushing-for-more-coordination-with-charter-schools-but-faces-fierce-backlash/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">portfolio model\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In these competition-based portfolio districts, schools compete against each other for resources and support, creating a system of haves and have-nots,\" Brown said. He decried billionaire supporters of the model including Netflix founder and CEO \u003ca href=\"https://philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/reed-hastings-creates-100-million-education-fund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reed Hastings\u003c/a> and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The foundation run by Gates and his wife Melinda was behind an earlier education reform effort undertaken by the district to create \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11726682/why-does-oakland-have-so-many-small-schools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smaller schools\u003c/a> in hopes of improving outcomes. Now lacking private funding from the Gates, OUSD is looking at closing up many of those small schools as part of its budget crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The black and brown families in Oakland have suffered enough displacement,\" said Clarissa Doutherd, the parent of a fifth-grader at Laurel Elementary School. \"Our public schools should stay open. This is a direct attack on our families.\" Doutherd and other parents at Saturday's news conference encouraged families not to cross the picket lines in a show of solidarity with teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we see right now in Oakland public schools is exactly what a billionaire district looks like,\" said Ismael Armendariz, a special education teacher and first vice president of OEA. \"I'm ready to strike for our kids, and I'm ready to strike for the schools Oakland deserves. The choice is clear: You can stand with the billionaires or you can stand with the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khoury's fact-finding report also noted the impact charter schools have had on the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have no doubt that charter advocates and indeed charter policies are driven by a desire to increase options for disadvantaged children,\" he wrote. \"Unfortunately, there are ways that the current system creates an unlevel playing field for traditional public schools and undermines those districts serving the very same disadvantaged children that charter advocates seek to aid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As negotiations over teacher pay and school closings have heated up in recent months, so have tensions. Teachers held two separate “sick outs” this year without union approval, and on Feb. 8, students staged a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11724716/hundreds-of-oakland-high-school-students-stage-sickout-in-support-of-teachers\">similar event\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unless there are dramatic changes to the district’s approach including spending money on students and spending money for more nurses and counselors, lower class size and a living wage that will keep experienced teachers in Oakland classrooms, we will strike on Feb. 21,\" Brown said to loud applause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Feb. 16: The original version of this report incorrectly stated that the fact-finder's report did not recommend reducing class sizes.

Since 2000, OUSD created scores of new schools, even as enrollment throughout the district sharply declined.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Want to know more? Read on...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified School District has about 37,000 students in 87 non-charter public schools, or an average of roughly 425 students per school. That comparatively high school-to-student ratio is largely due to an earlier reform movement to create smaller, more intimate educational settings for students. Today, amid a serious budget crisis, district leaders are revisiting the premise of the small schools experiment, and have suggested paring down the number of schools by upward of 25 percent. Here’s a look at how Oakland ended up with so many small schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does OUSD really have \u003cem>that\u003c/em> many schools? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. The number of public schools OUSD oversees is much higher than Bay Area districts of similar size. Take nearby Fremont Unified, which has just over 35,000 students but only 42 schools. Or San Jose Unified, where about 32,000 students attend 46 schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Oakland still has its fair share of larger schools. About \u003ca href=\"http://www.ed-data.org/school/Alameda/Oakland-Unified/Skyline-High\">1,800 students\u003c/a> were enrolled at Skyline High School during the 2017-2018 school year, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ed-data.org/school/Alameda/Oakland-Unified/Oakland-Technical-High\">nearly 2,000\u003c/a> at Oakland Tech. But a good number of district schools have fewer than 300 students. Among them: Roots International Academy, one of the schools slated for closure, which now has just about 260 students and Sankofa Academy, which has fewer than 200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11726709\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11726709 size-complete_open_graph\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-1200x867.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-1200x867.png 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-160x116.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-800x578.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-1020x737.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377.png 1247w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Schools in the Oakland Unified School District \u003ccite>(OUSD)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why were so many new schools created?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2000, the district has opened a huge number of small schools, even as its enrollment dropped \u003ca href=\"https://dashboards.ousd.org/views/Enrollment/Snapshot?:embed=y&:showShareOptions=true&:display_count=no&:showVizHome=no&:render=false#3\">by about 45 percent\u003c/a>. Here’s how it unfolded:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1990s, Oakland’s public school district was dealing with many of the same issues it faces today, including financial problems, low test scores and high teacher turnover. Most of the under-performing schools were concentrated in the city’s “flatlands” neighborhoods and primarily attended by lower-income, minority students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike now, though, many of those schools were bursting at the seams and straining to manage far more students than they were designed to accommodate, particularly elementary schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of these overcrowded and sometimes chaotic conditions, a group of concerned parents teamed up with an alliance of religious and civic leaders, called \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandcommunity.org/\">Oakland Community Organizations\u003c/a>, to push for a major overhaul of the district’s most troubled campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Oakland Schools: Your Questions Answered\" tag=\"ousd-qa\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the group called attention to the glaring disparities between their kids’ schools and the markedly smaller, safer and better performing schools largely concentrated in wealthier neighborhoods in the Oakland hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I couldn’t believe that the same school district would be failing thousands of children, while the other kids in the more affluent neighborhoods were very successful,” said Emma Paulino, an immigrant from Guadalajara, Mexico, who was appalled by the conditions at Hawthorne Elementary, the East Oakland school her son attended. “It was like a slap in my face. My child is not a third-class kid just because he’s brown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paulino became involved with OCO and its grassroots campaign to push the district to break apart some of its long-struggling, large flatlands schools and replace them with smaller autonomous academies. It was part of a growing small schools movement that had taken root in urban districts across the country, including New York, Chicago and Milwaukee, and touted as a transformational tool to help narrow the growing achievement gap between poor, mostly minority students and their more affluent peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates believed that schools with fewer than 400 students could provide a stronger sense of community and security and create more engaging learning environments, particularly for students from underserved neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The small schools were also intended to empower a new generation of community and educational leaders who could help shape their school’s vision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s school board and its superintendent went all in, approving a \u003ca href=\"https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED467119\">new small schools policy\u003c/a> in 2000 that jump-started the opening of nine new schools over the next three years. (To put that in perspective: the district hadn’t opened a single new school in the previous 20 years.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/37f2a288-0fd1-434c-8fff-b97a4f708fbb?src=embed\" title=\"Oakland Small Schools\" width=\"600\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennis Chaconas, who was the district’s superintendent from 2000 to 2003, said that besides reducing overcrowding, the goal was to create more community-focused and academically rigorous institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to get a group of teachers and community members to design schools in which they felt they would own the kids more, and actually end up getting better performance,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paulino helped start ASCEND, an arts-based kindergarten- through eighth-grade school in East Oakland that opened its doors in 2001 (it has since become a charter school).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At ASCEND, we the parents had a voice,” she said. “We worked really closely with the teachers. And all the adults were responsible for the children, including the custodians, people in the cafeteria, every person at the school. We were like a family. Parents really owned the school and all the kids were accountable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label= \"We're answering your questions about Oakland Schools.\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/oaklandschools#have-a-question,Tell us what you want to know.\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who paid for the expansion?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A good chunk of the funding came from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which had begun infusing a number of urban districts across the country with large grants specifically earmarked for creating more small schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2003 — when the financially distressed district was taken over by the state and its locally elected school board dissolved — and 2009, Oakland continued to receive multimillion-dollar contributions from the Gates Foundation for the explicit purpose of converting large campuses into multiplexes of smaller ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that period of state receivership, the district shuttered seven large middle and high schools and seven elementary schools — located almost entirely in the city’s poorest neighborhoods in East and West Oakland — and replaced them with 40 smaller academies. Many had distinct vocational themes, from media studies and performing arts to architecture and activism. The schools’ teachers and principals all had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by 2009, when the district finally regained local control, philanthropic enthusiasm for the small schools movement had waned, and the Gates Foundation shifted its focus to new educational initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All told, OUSD opened a whopping 49 new schools in a decade, each with its own separate administration and teaching staff. Some were eventually phased out or turned into charter schools, but the majority remain open today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also during this period that district-approved, publicly funded charter schools proliferated in the city. Oakland’s underserved communities, which had just a few years earlier been sorely lacking in educational options for their children, were suddenly awash in an often dizzying array of new schools from which to choose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So ... did it work? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results were mixed. There were definitely some major improvements. Between 2004 and 2009, the\u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/cms/lib07/CA01001176/Centricity/Domain/14/Impact_Assessment_OUSD_Results.pdf\"> district reported\u003c/a> a 92-point increase in its overall Academic Performance Index score, which it claimed was the biggest improvement of any large urban district in California, although it still fell below the statewide average. And some of the new schools unquestionably outperformed the larger institutions they’d stemmed from. In 2008, Think College Now, one of the new small elementary schools in the Fruitvale district, was named a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/Page/364\">California Distinguished School\u003c/a> at the same time as Hillcrest, an elementary school in one of Oakland’s wealthiest neighborhoods. That same year, about \u003ca href=\"https://edpolicy.stanford.edu/news/articles/899\">40 percent of graduates from LIFE Academy\u003c/a>, a bioscience-themed high school in East Oakland that opened in 2001, were admitted into the University of California system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://edpolicy.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/publications/oakland-unified-school-district-new-small-schools-initiative-evaluation.pdf\">2009 Stanford study\u003c/a> found that Oakland students in the new small schools performed better, on average, over a three-year period than students from similar socioeconomic groups who stayed in their larger, traditional schools. The same study also found that students, parents and teachers were “significantly more satisfied” than their counterparts at traditional schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Oakland’s small school transformation was hardly the magic bullet that some reformers had hoped for. Many of the same problems persisted, and academic progress was at best uneven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/09/01/small-schools-found-not-making-the-grade/\">Data released in 2007\u003c/a> showed that the new small high schools at the Castlemont and McClymonds campuses — as well as all but one of the district’s new middle schools — failed to meet national education standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, by 2009, just as the district regained local control, it again found itself sliding into deep financial trouble, in large part because \u003ca href=\"https://dashboards.ousd.org/views/Enrollment/Snapshot?:embed=y&:showShareOptions=true&:display_count=no&:showVizHome=no&:render=false#3\">thousands of students \u003c/a>were transferring into the many charter schools that had recently emerged throughout Oakland, taking with them critical state funding tied to enrollment, and leaving some of the newly created schools with an increasing number of empty seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Operating more schools was also more expensive, particularly in the absence of foundational support. Each school required its own principal, administrative staff and additional overhead costs, adding millions of dollars every year to the district’s tab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Hill, a former OUSD program manager, said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.eightcities.org/blog/oakland-california\">recent interview\u003c/a> with the education site Eight Cities that the district probably opened too many schools at once. “There should have been a tighter look at financial and demographic need,” he said. “It wasn’t financially sustainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the Oakland school board\u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2008/12/19/oakland-school-district-at-important-juncture/\"> regained control in 2009, some members were already suggesting\u003c/a> merging some of the “new, small schools” back together again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Since 2000, OUSD created scores of new schools, even as enrollment throughout the district sharply declined.\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Want to know more? Read on...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified School District has about 37,000 students in 87 non-charter public schools, or an average of roughly 425 students per school. That comparatively high school-to-student ratio is largely due to an earlier reform movement to create smaller, more intimate educational settings for students. Today, amid a serious budget crisis, district leaders are revisiting the premise of the small schools experiment, and have suggested paring down the number of schools by upward of 25 percent. Here’s a look at how Oakland ended up with so many small schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does OUSD really have \u003cem>that\u003c/em> many schools? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. The number of public schools OUSD oversees is much higher than Bay Area districts of similar size. Take nearby Fremont Unified, which has just over 35,000 students but only 42 schools. Or San Jose Unified, where about 32,000 students attend 46 schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Oakland still has its fair share of larger schools. About \u003ca href=\"http://www.ed-data.org/school/Alameda/Oakland-Unified/Skyline-High\">1,800 students\u003c/a> were enrolled at Skyline High School during the 2017-2018 school year, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ed-data.org/school/Alameda/Oakland-Unified/Oakland-Technical-High\">nearly 2,000\u003c/a> at Oakland Tech. But a good number of district schools have fewer than 300 students. Among them: Roots International Academy, one of the schools slated for closure, which now has just about 260 students and Sankofa Academy, which has fewer than 200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11726709\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11726709 size-complete_open_graph\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-1200x867.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-1200x867.png 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-160x116.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-800x578.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377-1020x737.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/OUSDschools-e1550279017377.png 1247w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Schools in the Oakland Unified School District \u003ccite>(OUSD)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why were so many new schools created?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2000, the district has opened a huge number of small schools, even as its enrollment dropped \u003ca href=\"https://dashboards.ousd.org/views/Enrollment/Snapshot?:embed=y&:showShareOptions=true&:display_count=no&:showVizHome=no&:render=false#3\">by about 45 percent\u003c/a>. Here’s how it unfolded:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1990s, Oakland’s public school district was dealing with many of the same issues it faces today, including financial problems, low test scores and high teacher turnover. Most of the under-performing schools were concentrated in the city’s “flatlands” neighborhoods and primarily attended by lower-income, minority students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike now, though, many of those schools were bursting at the seams and straining to manage far more students than they were designed to accommodate, particularly elementary schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of these overcrowded and sometimes chaotic conditions, a group of concerned parents teamed up with an alliance of religious and civic leaders, called \u003ca href=\"http://www.oaklandcommunity.org/\">Oakland Community Organizations\u003c/a>, to push for a major overhaul of the district’s most troubled campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My child is not a third-class kid just because he’s brown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paulino became involved with OCO and its grassroots campaign to push the district to break apart some of its long-struggling, large flatlands schools and replace them with smaller autonomous academies. It was part of a growing small schools movement that had taken root in urban districts across the country, including New York, Chicago and Milwaukee, and touted as a transformational tool to help narrow the growing achievement gap between poor, mostly minority students and their more affluent peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates believed that schools with fewer than 400 students could provide a stronger sense of community and security and create more engaging learning environments, particularly for students from underserved neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The small schools were also intended to empower a new generation of community and educational leaders who could help shape their school’s vision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s school board and its superintendent went all in, approving a \u003ca href=\"https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED467119\">new small schools policy\u003c/a> in 2000 that jump-started the opening of nine new schools over the next three years. (To put that in perspective: the district hadn’t opened a single new school in the previous 20 years.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/37f2a288-0fd1-434c-8fff-b97a4f708fbb?src=embed\" title=\"Oakland Small Schools\" width=\"600\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dennis Chaconas, who was the district’s superintendent from 2000 to 2003, said that besides reducing overcrowding, the goal was to create more community-focused and academically rigorous institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to get a group of teachers and community members to design schools in which they felt they would own the kids more, and actually end up getting better performance,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paulino helped start ASCEND, an arts-based kindergarten- through eighth-grade school in East Oakland that opened its doors in 2001 (it has since become a charter school).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At ASCEND, we the parents had a voice,” she said. “We worked really closely with the teachers. And all the adults were responsible for the children, including the custodians, people in the cafeteria, every person at the school. We were like a family.

Many had distinct vocational themes, from media studies and performing arts to architecture and activism. The schools’ teachers and principals all had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by 2009, when the district finally regained local control, philanthropic enthusiasm for the small schools movement had waned, and the Gates Foundation shifted its focus to new educational initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All told, OUSD opened a whopping 49 new schools in a decade, each with its own separate administration and teaching staff. Some were eventually phased out or turned into charter schools, but the majority remain open today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also during this period that district-approved, publicly funded charter schools proliferated in the city. Oakland’s underserved communities, which had just a few years earlier been sorely lacking in educational options for their children, were suddenly awash in an often dizzying array of new schools from which to choose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So ... did it work? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results were mixed. There were definitely some major improvements. Between 2004 and 2009, the\u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/cms/lib07/CA01001176/Centricity/Domain/14/Impact_Assessment_OUSD_Results.pdf\"> district reported\u003c/a> a 92-point increase in its overall Academic Performance Index score, which it claimed was the biggest improvement of any large urban district in California, although it still fell below the statewide average. And some of the new schools unquestionably outperformed the larger institutions they’d stemmed from. In 2008, Think College Now, one of the new small elementary schools in the Fruitvale district, was named a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousd.org/Page/364\">California Distinguished School\u003c/a> at the same time as Hillcrest, an elementary school in one of Oakland’s wealthiest neighborhoods. That same year, about \u003ca href=\"https://edpolicy.stanford.edu/news/articles/899\">40 percent of graduates from LIFE Academy\u003c/a>, a bioscience-themed high school in East Oakland that opened in 2001, were admitted into the University of California system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://edpolicy.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/publications/oakland-unified-school-district-new-small-schools-initiative-evaluation.pdf\">2009 Stanford study\u003c/a> found that Oakland students in the new small schools performed better, on average, over a three-year period than students from similar socioeconomic groups who stayed in their larger, traditional schools. The same study also found that students, parents and teachers were “significantly more satisfied” than their counterparts at traditional schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Oakland’s small school transformation was hardly the magic bullet that some reformers had hoped for. Many of the same problems persisted, and academic progress was at best uneven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/09/01/small-schools-found-not-making-the-grade/\">Data released in 2007\u003c/a> showed that the new small high schools at the Castlemont and McClymonds campuses — as well as all but one of the district’s new middle schools — failed to meet national education standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, by 2009, just as the district regained local control, it again found itself sliding into deep financial trouble, in large part because \u003ca href=\"https://dashboards.ousd.org/views/Enrollment/Snapshot?:embed=y&:showShareOptions=true&:display_count=no&:showVizHome=no&:render=false#3\">thousands of students \u003c/a>were transferring into the many charter schools that had recently emerged throughout Oakland, taking with them critical state funding tied to enrollment, and leaving some of the newly created schools with an increasing number of empty seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
