State of the Bay: Oakland Back-to-School Update
from Crosscurrents · host KALW
School is now in session for the Oakland Unified School District. And this past year, there has been A LOT to report on at OUSD — from the early departure of superintendent Kyla Johnson Trammell, to the district’s exit from a 22 year receivership. Reporter Ashley McBride covers education equity for Oaklandside. She’s been following these stories, and she co-reported a two-part investigative series looking at lead in the water at Oakland Schools. Grace Won, co-host of KALW’s “State of the Bay,” recently spoke with McBride, and we’re bringing you an excerpt from that conversation.
