OUSD and OEA have made stunningly little progress in reaching a deal to get our kids back to the classroom. We don't want our kids to be left behind as neighboring districts open up!
Please join us for a rally next Sunday and spread the word!! #openschools

Resist the generalized fear-mongering - CA is not having a pediatric Covid crisis

OUSD starts a new year tomorrow. We’re very glad to hear @OaklandEA pres Keith Brown encouraging all teachers to get vaxxed and suggesting he might be open to mandates for all school employees.
Adults must do everything in their power to give @OUSDNews students a full school year
It’s very disheartening to see @KPIXtv and other local news stations continually giving a radical sect of the OEA (BAMN) airtime when they are so out of touch with the desires of most Oakland teachers and parents. They say no one should go back to school until all kids are vaxxed

Hard to read this after fighting like hell for an entire year to prevent it. The national emergency that was never treated as such. Devastating.

We are looking for volunteers to help Oakland schools get ready for their first day of in-person learning next Monday, August 9th! Please sign-up for a shift (and bring a friend!) oaklandedfund.org/one-time-v… 🍎✏️✨ #oaklandschoolvolunteers #communityunity #edfundmagic
.@OUSDNews We think parents would be very interested in knowing what % of OUSD teachers have been vaccinated.
Are you planning on releasing that information?
Incredible reporting by @jocelynwiener focusing on the vast inequality within our city and chronicling 3 East Oakland high schoolers throughout the pandemic.
A year+ of school closures has taken a terrible toll on them - never again can we let this happen

It's unconscionable that @OUSDNews and @OaklandEA will wait until next month to negotiate what the return to school will look like a mere month later.
Hammer out the details ASAP - Oakland parents know what happens when you say "wait and see"

.@jilltucker pulling no punches and we're here for it!
First gathering of top Bay Area health officials in more than a year sparked by one unmitigated message: Reopen schools in the fall -- fully, completely, no exceptions. sfchronicle.com/education/ar… via @sfchronicle

Let’s prioritize the needs of students and families in CA and get all TK-12 public school students back to full-time school in the fall.
Let’s reimagine education reform in CA by centering the voices of families with @OpenSchoolsCA. #FiveFullDaysInFall #K12ParentPower

The group of California parents who have been pushing for reopening over the last year (@OpenSchoolsCA) today formed a non-profit org to "increase student and parent power through policy recommendations, and political candidate recruitment and support in post-COVID CA."

Students in schools that were fully remote for most of this school year received less instructional time and were more likely to be absent and receive a failing grade than students who were attending classes in person, a new report finds.

Most parent advocates are already well aware of the ways the risk of Covid to our kids has been exaggerated at the expense of their learning and social-emotional development, but here is proof
Share widely with your parent friends who are still consumed with fear
Pediatric COVID hospitalization numbers are inflated by *at least* 40%, per two peer reviewed studies
It's hard to overstate the significance of this
