DESCRIPTION:From: Gina Rossi        aft771@aol.com  Attention: Adult Education in 
 Oakland Under Attack!  Protest Wednesday,  4PM at the Oakland School Board 
 Meeting; 1025 Second Avenue.    Town Hall Meeting to Defend  Public 
 Education in Oakland, Tuesday, March 8th    The entire adult education 
 program in Oakland may be closed down by Dr.  Randolph Ward, State 
 Administrator, as of June 30 of this year.  Many  Adult Education Teachers 
 in Oakland received a notice on Friday stating  that if class attendance 
 falls below 14 students, that class will be  considered for immediate 
 closure.  This is their first step.  Our teachers and our 25,000 students 
 deserve better.  Adult Education in  Oakland serves a population that is 
 not served by anyone else. This  population includes immigrants, high 
 school diploma classes, classes at  senior centers, community center 
 classes for people with disability, and  many others. These are the only 
 free English as a Second Language Classes  offered in Oakland.  This is 
 part of Randy Ward's plan to dismantle public education in  Oakland. It is 
 connected to the converting of public elementary schools to  charter 
 schools. In both cases his actions are affecting the most  underserved 
 communities. These are racist acts and part of a plan to  destroy public 
 education in Oakland.  We need everyone in Oakland to come to the Board of 
 Education meeting,  Wed. evening, 4:00PM, at the Oakland Administration 
 Building, 1025 Second  Avenue.  Also, please attend the Town Hall Meeting 
 to Defend Public Education in  Oakland, Tuesday, March 8th from 6-8PM at 
 the First Congregational Church  (2501 Harrison Street)  We need your 
 presence.  Please come.    In Solidarity,  Gina Rossi  Oakland AFT, Local
