- Keeping Effective Teachers
-
Oakland needs to develop ways to hire and keep teachers who care about teaching, especially in the lowest performing schools
- Adequate Funding for our schools, and a responsible, balanced budget
-
Studies have shown two findings: that public schools are inadequately funded, and that money by itself doesn't ensure high quality schools
- The Drop out Rate and Preparation for College and Career
-
It takes much more to become a self sufficient adult today than when I was in high school, fifty years ago. Most careers now require post secondary preparation, whether for skill or for profession. Dropping out limits the ability to become independent, and even creates conditions for being a liability that we must all pay for. But how can we really make a difference here, when this is a national problem?
