There were no classes at any of the Oakland Unified schools Friday as teachers participated in a one-day strike and district administrators asked students to stay home.
It all has to do with planned school closures. At the end of the current school year, Community Day and Parker K-8 will close and La Escuelita will lose its middle school.
The father of a 4th grader at La Escuelita says parents are the ones who asked the teachers to strike. “Thanks to the teachers, we were able to get more unions involved on this since they’re more knowledgeable on how to do the strikes and protests,” Orozco said. “I went through a school closure personally and it was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” Ranahan told KPIX.“These school closures are disproportionately impacting our Black and Brown students in Oakland. For instance, Community Day School is a restorative justice school for students that are typically expelled. Closing that school is impacting the highest needs schools in our community, students that traditional school doesn’t work for.
