1/ Over 350 folks have signed The Oakland REACH and CA Parent Power’s petition urging @OUSDnews to take the legal action necessary to prevent even more learning loss. Keep reading to hear a few comments of support: t.ly/HTJP

It’s clear from their proposal that ousdnews is putting our students’ outcomes at the center.

That's why we support the district’s direction with contract negotiations because of its focus on our kids and because it’s time to get this done.

We don’t do things halfway at The Oakland REACH.

Our Literacy Liberator model isn't only breaking the cycle of our youngest students getting passed over — we’re also fostering the talent we need, here in our community, to make sure all our babies are learning how to read.

Naval Eric Jorgenson 📚 ☀️ AngelList Another great book on growth is The Innovative Executive. In it there's an important question we're always asking ourselves at The Oakland REACH: 'What are our strengths and what can we do?”

For The Oakland REACH to keep evolving and innovating, my leadership must also keep evolving and innovating.

I've been studying books filled with wisdom and would love to share some of what I've learned. Follow this thread to join my unofficial book club!

If you really want to take care of our community, you would stay unapologetically focused on how these kids are learning. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

You can't just focus on keeping schools open and ignore the day-to-day realities of the families that can’t afford to be part of that debate and just want their kids to read.

Low-income families have been sounding the alarm on literacy for years. REACH is now building a no excuses solution to get our families to full literacy liberation! #REACHforMore

Advice from our 2021 Inaugural Cohort Semifinalist to our newest cohort… “Step back so you can sling forward.” - Lakisha Young, The Oakland REACH

Update on last night: We asked the Board for its commitment to parent voice. They postponed, and kicked the can down the road. Of course that’s no surprise — Oakland has postponed doing anything about academic outcomes for generations.

“We exist out of a problem,” said Lakisha Young, who has three children, her eldest a sophomore at Sarah Lawrence College. “And we have to do everything we can to address it.” #REACHforMore the74million.org/article/post-p…
