OUSD's school board makes decisions that affect 37,000 Oakland students.
About the budget, about curriculum, about which schools stay open. Most families never hear about those decisions until it's too late to weigh in. FIA4Justice Board Watch changes that. Every two weeks, we read the full OUSD agenda, identify the most consequential items, and publish a plain-language summary — with the questions families should be asking. We lay our RTB platform over the board priorities/agenda to highlight gaps and when/on what item to leverage public comment so your voice can be heard.
