According to the plan, Brookfield Elementary, Carl B. Munck Elementary, Grass Valley Elementary, Horace Mann Elementary and Korematsu Discovery Academy will close in the 2022-2023 school year, while Hillcrest K-8 would close its middle school grades.

“The purported basis for this potential strike is in protest over the consolidation of District schools. If this is correct, we demand that OEA immediately cease and desist from moving forward with this strike. There is no legal basis for any concerted activity that would justify a strike or refusal to perform services benefiting District students. OEA is strongly encouraged to consult with its legal counsel before counting any votes, before announcing any results, and especially before taking any actual action.
Would love if my kid could get a basic education in Oakland. 4th time they’ve striked since moving here in 17. Bay Area school districts wonder why enrollment has declined? OEA secretaries tweeting against Oakland parents, SF board anti Asian tweets? Recalls? A complete sh*tshow
