The Three Pillars of School Board Matters
Tools
Improved and expanded transparency and accountability tools, including a vote tracker, which will be used to track how board members vote on specific issues over time.
Engagement
GO Oakland Advocates has launched a membership program. Our membership will be the vehicle by which we create place and space for community to gather.
Leadership Cultivation
Expanded opportunities will be available to GO network leaders interested in learning what it takes to be a school board member, how to work on a school board, and how to coordinate civic engagement activities.
