Fiscal Challenges/Opportunities

Enrollment and Attendance •  How can we help families learn more about the many great

schools in Oakland? •  How can we partner with families, schools, and community to

raise attendance? Teacher compensation

•  How do we address the challenge that our teachers do not make as much as most teachers in the Bay Area?

Class Size/ School Size & Quality •  What are the benefits and costs of maintaining current school

and class sizes? How do we maintain these benefits, ensure quality, and manage costs?

Safety and School Climate •  How do we increase funding for safety and further engage

community in keeping our schools safe and centers of support for our students and families?


13


Next Steps

•  Superintendent prepares proposed budgets for central office that reflect the Board’s direction. (Dec/ Jan)

•  Principals and School Site Councils develop School Plan and Budget (Dec- Mar)

•  Personnel reductions approved (March) •  Final 2010-2011 budget adopted (June)
