	Oakland Unified School District - Board of Education - Members
		I consider the large urban school districts our most important work because no child should be condemned to educational failure just because of his or her family background, race, or socioeconomic status.
		The community, schools and district support staff must be involved and organized to support high performance instruction and student learning in customer friendly work places.
		Not only because it is a state takeover of an urban district, but also because it demands what large urban districts need to be successful: a system-wide focus on capacity building for quality classroom instruction and a results-based standards driven accountability system integrated into all levels of the school district.

		Oakland Unified is one of our oldest partner districts and currently, the highest percentage of the Bay Area corps is placed there.

		There are similar statistics in the South Bay where schools in Gilroy prepared only 29 percent of its graduates for entrance to Cal State or UC schools and in East San Jose where just 34 percent of their students were able to complete basic math computations by high school.
