A parent-led PAC for Oakland schools
Oakland parents organizing to put students first
We're parents working to elect school board leaders who center kids — their outcomes, their safety, and their future. Families deserve a real voice in the decisions that shape our schools.

- Hold the Board accountable for every dollar
Why now
The stakes for Oakland kids
These numbers show real kids whose futures are being limited. The district has serious problems with student outcomes, and the way it is being governed is making things worse.
- The 2026 school board elections in Districts 2 and 6 are a chance to change direction.
- Financial decisions and weak oversight are affecting classrooms now and will shape the district for years.
Mission
What we're here to do
- Elect school board members in Districts 2 and 6 who will put students first instead of continuing the current pattern of poor decisions and weak accountability.
- Build an organized group of parents who pay attention to what the Board is actually doing with money and oversight — and hold them responsible.
From the schools
Principals are raising serious concerns
Three letters from the people running Oakland's schools every day — 30 elementary principals, a coalition representing two-thirds of schools, and all 15 high school principals — describe decisions that hurt classrooms and bypass rules meant to protect students and public money.
“We will make it because we have the common sense to draw on each other, and the audacity to believe that in concert, we are equal to the great task.” — Marcus Foster, OUSD Superintendent, 1970–1973
Values
What we believe
Kids come first
Every decision should start with what's best for students — not politics or protecting the status quo.
Strong, safe, well-resourced schools
Every child deserves schools with libraries, counselors, arts, and sports — not schools stretched so thin that everyone struggles.
Honest budgets
Public money should be spent the way voters approved it, with real oversight and no accounting shortcuts.
Parents at the table
Families should have a real voice in the decisions that shape their kids' schools — before decisions are made, not after.
