Announcing GO’s endorsement decisions for OUSD School Board in D3 and D7
Spoiler: these candidates have Oakland roots and classroom experience
We’re so excited to be kicking off our election season with the announcement of who our community has chosen to endorse for the OUSD School Board races in District 3 and District 7!
It was inspiring to see over 200 of you over the last few weeks as we gathered on Zoom to interview candidates for the four school board seats that are up for election – this process is truly powered by community: Over 150 of those who attended are families of children in our public schools, and 40 are educators. Over 70% of interview participants identify as people of color, and 31 are primarily Spanish-speaking.
