In its proposal guidelines, the foundation said it is «guided by the belief that all lives have equal value, and that all students — especially black, Latino and low - income students — must have
equal access to a great public education that prepares them for adulthood.»
I believe everybody has the right to have
access to great public education.
What about the city as a whole — district and charter schools — how might they need to work together or work in different ways to ensure that all kids (and especially our most vulnerable kids and communities) in Oakland have
access to a great public education?
Whatever happens nationally, we are determined to continue to act locally: to support our educators, embrace our families, engage in respectful debate, and work together to ensure that every child in Oakland has
access to a great public education.
We here at NECSN are committed to ensuring that every child has
access to a great public education.
