DESCRIPTION:Rally at Frank Ogawa Plaza at 12.00 noon!!\n\nWe are tired of the 
 mismanagement of the Oakland Unified School District. A few years back, we 
 were put under state control due to bankruptcy, and the state ran the 
 district even further into debt. Now the district is back into 'local 
 control,' but our students continue to suffer from lack of resources. We 
 are told the funding problem lies at the state and federal level, but we 
 know that is not the truth.\n\nThe budget is a disaster. Our teachers and 
 support staff are being laid off and our Adult Education programs are 
 severely threatened by next year's budget cuts. The district favors paying 
 for top-heavy administration and private contracts over classroom size 
 reduction and equitable academic programs for our students. Our school 
 facilities are crumbling. The district is violating the California 
 Education Code by allocating on 45% of the budget to compensation for 
 classroom teachers and aids, rather than the 55% required by law.\n\nJoin 
 us as the union shows its strength to demand improved learning conditions 
 for our students! We will not take 'the recession' as an excuse! The money 
 is there for all of our demands; we've seen the budget! It's a matter of 
 making our students the priority!\n\n\n\n
