OUSD to vote on closing campuses despite community objectionsAfter a week of protests, the Oakland Unified School District board is poised to vote Tuesday evening on whether to close school campuses. It's crazy to even have to vote this crap when money is just thrown at ridiculous causes, why not throw it in the school and create less losers rather than keep these inequalities flourishing. Oh right.... No matter what they decide, I have complete faith in the decision making ability of the Oakland city council members......hahahahaha..I just spit out my coffee.
