Oakland City Council may consider new ideas for public safety at special meeting

Oakland City Council may consider new ideas for public safety at special meeting By Keith Burbank article OAKLAND, Calif. - Members of the Oakland City Council Public Safety Committee voted Tuesday to seek the full council s input on the recommendations of Reimagining Public Safety Taskforce rather than approving them. Committee members made their decision late Tuesday afternoon and hope to have the full council provide input at a special meeting May 4. That meeting has not been scheduled officially. At least a dozen community members spoke in favor of the recommendations and/or those favored by the Anti Police-Terror Project and Defund Police Coalition. Those recommendations may reduce the Police Department s budget. Police, on the other hand, wonder why the City Council is talking about reducing the police budget given that the city has seen more than three times the number of homicides this year compared with last year.

State Overseers Want to Continue Closing Oakland Schools

Dr. Kimberly Mayfield, Holy Names University The Oakland Unified School District’s state overseers have mostly operated behind the scenes to enforce their dictates since they took over the district nearly 20 years ago. But last week, the state Trustee Chris Learned sent shock waves through the school community when he came to a public board meeting to announce that he would “stay” or block any motion of the board that halts or puts a temporary moratorium on permanent closing of Oakland schools The state, acting through the Fiscal Crisis Management and Assistance Team (FCMAT) and the state Trustee, has pushed for austerity budgets, with annual cuts to programs in the city’s classrooms and closing as many as 20 schools since the state takeover in 2003.
