Oakland Education Association

A message from OEA.

We want to return to our classrooms, but #OnlyWhenItsSafe. The determination on whether or not it is safe to reopen schools for any form of in-person instruction be must be assessed at each and every zip code in Oakland, not at the County level. We are not Pleasanton!

Remember that every detail of the 2020-21 school year must be negotiated. OEA is fighting for the safety of Oakland! Our students deserve safe, equitable, well-resourced schools.

Supt. Johnson Trammell shares some thoughts on the passage of the George Floyd Resolution and reimagining school safety:

"I stand strong in my resolve to reimagine school safety and positive school culture without school police.
As an educator, I know that our students and staff must be safe - physically and emotionally. School safety is the foundation of a positive school culture in which all students are held to high academic expectations so they can truly thrive. "

Join me in thanking our dedicated hard working teachers for all that they do!
We ❤️ our teachers, they are amazing!!!

Our teachers are amazing. They're dedicated, creative, caring and incredibly hard-working. And that's during a regular school year. But in the midst of a pandemic? They take things to an entirely new level.

When our schools closed to in-person instruction, our teachers immediately rose to the challenge of the new distance learning landscape. They created a whole new plan for how students would continue learning and thought about ways to keep students and families engaged in the school community. They attended webinars to learn new ways to connect, they flexed their technology muscles to utilize new software, they updated lesson plans, they personally reached out to families, and so much more.

Please take some time to appreciate our educators this coming week by sending an email, a card or posting on social media using the #ThankATeacher hashtag!
