About us
Focused on high academic achievement while serving the whole child, eliminating inequity, and providing each child with excellent teachers, every day. Our Strategic Plan In June 2020, the Oakland Unified School District renewed our commitment to a future in which all OUSD children and educators—regardless of their background or their circumstances—have the opportunity to reach their highest potential. From the unprecedented and disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black and Brown communities and uprisings against systemic racism throughout the country and world, there are reminders everywhere we look that we are far from this vision of equity. Oakland is no exception to this reality, but our community is resilient; and in times of great uncertainty and seemingly insurmountable challenges, our beloved city has never let up. Inspired by the legacy we stand in, OUSD has crafted a strategic plan around four initiatives that will ensure all students have equitable access to the tools they need to succeed within and beyond school walls. Collaborative partnership with our community was the foundation of our journey to create these plans; we centered the concerns of families and listened to diverse voices in order to deepen our understanding and widen the perspectives informing our work to create a vibrant and just OUSD. Our Four Initiatives Ensuring Strong Readers by the Third Grade: Accelerating Citywide Efforts to Guarantee Literacy for all Third Graders Supporting Empowered Graduates: Developing Essential Skills to Secure Post-Secondary Success Creating Joyful Schools: Reimagining Schools to be Places of Joy, Inclusion, and Beauty Growing a Diverse and Stable Staff: Attracting and Retaining Staff Reflective of Oakland’s Rich Diversity

Big news: We're expanding access to youth sports in Oakland—because every kid deserves a chance to play and compete. Since 2021, Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation has been on a mission to uplift school-based sports in Oakland. Together with Under Armour and Curry Brand, we’ve invested more than $3.6 million to support youth sports, and we’re just getting started. We’re announcing an expansion of this long-standing partnership to level the playing field for every student in the Oakland Unified School District with a new, multi-year commitment to invest seven figures annually to eliminate financial barriers and expand access to high-quality, organized middle school sports. Our goal: make sure every Oakland student has the opportunity to play, grow, and thrive—no matter their zip code—by expanding access to organized middle school sports; investing in coaches; upgrading gear and facilities; and continuing to rebuild @ousdnews schoolyards, multi-sport basketball courts, and soccer pitches. This is about more than sports. It’s about creating opportunity, building community, and ensuring every student in Oakland can dream big—on and off the field. Learn more at eatlearnplay.org.

Oakland Unified School District will be closed on March 28th in observance of Cesar Chavez Day. We honor the enduring legacy of Cesar Chavez, whose leadership in the fight for labor rights and fair treatment continues to resonate. His unwavering commitment to giving everyone a voice reminds us of our responsibility to expand opportunities for all. Chavez's work in Oakland, particularly in the Fruitvale district, highlights the importance of community-driven change. Let us reflect on his impactful words: “We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community.” Read more at: https://lnkd.in/ge3CrUMv We are committed to upholding these values in our pursuit of educational excellence. #CesarChavezDay #WeAreOUSD #Community
