We envision an Oakland where all children receive the schooling and support they need to live successful, fulfilling lives. We pursue our vision by educating and empowering Oakland community to influence, support, and hold accountable Oakland's educational leadership. Our network then works with community and leaders to adopt and implement policies that support students. 0 0 392544 0 0 We increased access to school board decision-making through written online and e-mail previews of, and highlights from, school board meetings. We have built the foundation on which to publish an annual report, Oakland Achieves: A Public Education Progress Report, on how the Oakland education system is doing to improve outcomes for our kids. We will publish the report in 2013 with a coalition of partner organizations. We provide information on the implementation of the Thriving Students strategic plan via GO's email alerts, printed tools, events, and our website. We launched a Teacher Policy Fellowship, which allows some of Oakland's best teachers to spend 12 months deeply engaging with teaching policy and building the skills (blogging, public speaking, one-to-one engagement) that will enable them to lead policy change in Oakland. To help facilitate local decision-making for OUSD schools, we built a coalition in collaboration with Oakland Community Organizations, Youth Uprising, Urban Strategies Council, 100 Black Men of the Bay Area, Prescott-Joseph Center, and East Bay Asian Youth Center to build community will and understanding for more school community-based autonomies. GO's role, now that the policy is adopted, is to continue, with our coalition, to support the district and school board to develop plans to implement the policy across the district. We will provide policy and technical support to assist in the creation of the implementation plan and provide feedback and support community engagement as the plan is developed. We have commissioned a study on OUSD's practices and policies impacting effective teaching by the National Council on Teacher Quality in partnership with a coalition that includes SEIU Local 1021, Oakland Community Organizations (OCO), Youth Uprising, Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, Education Trust-West, and Youth Together. Remaining stakeholder interviews and most remaining data collection from OUSD were completed this summer. We anticipate the release of this study in early 2013. 0 0 0 392544 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Jessica Stewart 5108688800 472 Water Street Oakland CA 94607 Jeff Kutash 1 X X 0 0 0 Debbra Lindo 1 X X 0 0 0 Ruben Olivares 1 X X 0 0 0 Hae-Sin Thomas 1 X X 0 0 0 Kirsten Vital 1 X 0 0 0 Louis Willacy 1 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Klein 40 X 0 0 0 Jessica Stewart 40 X 46960 0 6574 46960 0 6574 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8082 0 0 786135 112 794217 0 225 0 0 225 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3740 8082 112 3628 0 3628 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Refunds and rebats 900099 341 341 0 0 0 0 0 0 341 798411 341 0 3853 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 86238 79385 1855 4998 0 0 0 0 213890 202263 4550 7077 3139 3026 49 64 32193 30784 687 722 23780 22322 531 927 0 0 0 0 1307 0 1307 0 8304 0 8304 0 0 0 0 0 1253 1253 0 0 0 0 14088 13533 555 0 0 0 0 0 10346 8132 746 1468 6116 5940 94 82 65 65 0 0 16824 14807 457 1560 2930 2895 17 18 0 0 0 0 9801 9392 183 226 22 0 22 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 795 0 795 0 Fees 125 0 125 0 431216 392544 20277 18395 44369 369004 0 0 0 45000 811 17589 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1397 1603 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46577 433196 2693 22117 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2693 22117 X 43884 411079 0 0 0 0 43884 411079 46577 433196 367195 0 X 0 0 0 X 0 0 145060 71478 113600 330138 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 145060 71478 113600 330138 100163 229975 0 0 0 258 225 483 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 330621 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED F990_P06_S0B_L11b Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Great Oakland Public Schools Leadership Center hired a paid tax preparer to complete the Form 990.
