Priorities:
  • Invest in Oakland Teachers, both paying teachers fairly, but also investing in training and professional development.
  • Organize Parents. To me this means working with families much earlier, and helping parents to hold the district accountable for improving schools.
  • Shift Resources so that we invest in the people who work with students rather than central administration.
